Those of you familiar with old-time country music will recognize My Clinch Mountain Home as the title of a song by The Carter Family. A.P., Sara, and Maybelle lived in a little community called Mace's Spring which is about three miles east of Hiltons. Janette Carter, A.P. and Sara's daughter, still carries on the tradition of her parents' music at the Carter Family Fold every Saturday night. Hiltons has changed since the days of the Carter Family, but it's still a great place to live. It is my hope that, by browsing through my web site, you will get a sense of what life is like here at the foot of Clinch Mountain. I'm always redecorating so be sure to come back and visit again soon! Last updated June 24, 2001.
