Evarts KY

Two views of the refurbished train station at Evarts KY, near Harlan.  It cleaned up quite nicely.  The first Post Office opened in this town in 1855.   Since the L&N came into Harlan in 1911, I assume that the railroad came through here soon after, as it made its way east into the coal country.

    Thanks for these pictures of the Evarts Train Station. Our Great Grandparents lived here when coal mining was becoming the big business. (1895-1975)
