Although fire has temporarily closed the Stearns Restaurant, the Big South Fork Scenic Railway and other businesses located in historic Stearns are still fully operational. Please excuse our "mess" while crews work diligently to restore this amazing piece of history to its original condition.

If you would like to assist with the restoration, contributions can be made to McCreary County Heritage Foundation in a special account set up at Bank of McCreary County for Historic Stearns Repairs. You may contact the bank at 606.376.5031.

Come ride the rails with us, visit the Stearns Museum, witness art in action at Pottery by Mehg or experience a day filled with adventure tourism. Our heritage lives on...
