The countdown has begun for Long Journey Home 2018:
"Black Smoke a Risin' and it Surely is a Train"!
Long Journey Home is Johnson County's Heritage Arts and Music Celebration held every Labor Day Weekend. You can hear clawhammer banjo played on the front porch of the Clarence "Tom" Ashley homeplace, visit G.B. Grayson's grave, the site where the infamous Tom Dooley was captured or the site of the Historic 1925 Fiddler's Convention. A new mural is unveiled each year and the hills come alive with the sounds of Old Time and Bluegrass!
 Temple Reece's mural depicting the historic Lopsided 3 Train is ready to be unveiled! For a preview, come by Johnson County Center for the Arts. Click below for your downloadable event schedule and map:
