Renfro-Valley is a neighborhood located in the city of Mount Vernon in central Kentucky. The community is widely known for being home to the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center. Although part of Mt. Vernon, Renfro Valley has its own zip code. Renfro Valley is "Kentucky's Country Music Capital," and its' motto is "Real Country Music by Real Country Folks." The Renfro Valley Entertainment Center is two miles west of Interstate 75 at the junction of U.S. Routes 25 and 150. Founded in 1939 by native John Lair, the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center hosted the Renfro Valley Barn Dance. This traditional country music show saw performances by country greats such as Hank Snow, Red Foley, Homer and Jethro and Hank Williams. The Barn Dance was broadcast over the CBS Radio Network until the late 1950s. Renfro Valley is also home to the Renfro Valley Gatherin (formerly known as Renfro Valley Sunday Morning Gatherin), which is the second oldest continually broadcast country-oriented radio program in the United States, having aired every Sunday since September 1943. The 55-acre entertainment center features two unique theaters that present classic country, southern gospel and mountain bluegrass from March through December. Renfro Valley is also home to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
