Vicco, KY

This tiny Perry County town sits along Highway 15 in Kentucky's coal country, about 20 miles south of Hazard. The winding mountain roads follow creek valleys between steep ridges typical of Appalachian terrain. Most visitors arrive from Lexington via the Mountain Parkway, while locals commute daily to Hazard for work and services. Vicco gained national attention as America's smallest city to pass LGBTQ anti-discrimination protections.
