Moonshine stills remnants are very common in Franklin County Virginia. Franklin County has a long history of Moonshiners and there are many folks living in the county today that were involved or had friends in the business of making and selling illegal alcohol. They are most interesting to talk to and hear the stories of some of their activities. We have heard lots of interesting things and always fun to hear more. The LCF Group has owned properties in Franklin County for years and most of then have old still locations on them. Most of them have many old still parts and some are in good condition. The 5 acre ( We have sold this property however it has come on the market and been resold - maybe it will be up for sale again )property in this video is for sale with owner financing. It is just great on a nice warm sunny day to take a stroll in the woods and observer the streams, animals and artifacts. The Blue Ridge Parkway is the common boarder between Floyd and Franklin County. We live in Floyd and you can learn about our county at www.visitfloyd.com or land for sale by owner at www.littlefamil....
We now have a real legal Moonshine Still here in Floyd Virginia - Five Mile Mountain Distillery. www.5milemount...

Man, i would love to go hiking through the woods and see all these old stills and learn as much about the history as i could, ive been fascinated by moonshining for years now, but i live in Central PA and theres not much in the way of the moonshine here, maybe in South West PA you might find a few who do it, but nothing like down there.... I love history of any kind, but i really enjoy moonshine history...
Man I'm from Utah and we have like zero moonshine history or culture that I've found. It's definitely intriguing.
Back in the 90's my ex had family who made a little, even at that late date. Whether his son took up his hobby I do not know. His family is in the blue ridge mountains.
One time I went to paint the home of a family friend in Franklin county.
A gentleman who has since passed on asked me if I wanted a jar of shine.
I said yes.
We hopped in the truck and drove to a field in the middle of nowhere...
He stopped told me to lift up a rock... pick the jar I wanted (blackberry) and leave the $20 under the rock.
Welcome to Franklin county.🤣👍🥃
I am recovering from my fall from roof in June 2012 - I broke my leg, wrist and cracked pelvis. Good thing and blessing - I did not do more damage and have got back to functioning in all regards. Still have some healing but will not do anymore roof work. My wife and I just returned from Ireland and had a grand time. Posted several video's from trip. Dave KK4WW
Hi Ronald - That is very interesting. I sure enjoy the history and stories of the moonshine folks. I just purchased 2 more books at the Museum in Ferrum. Thank You , Dave KK4WW
HI - i did know just where but I don't remember just where it was now. Sure glad to have you comment and to know that your grandfather is in the picture. This is a well know photo - you see it in many places in Franklin County Virginia . Do you live in Franklin County ? Dave
Yes this is all so interesting. I own several properties with old still parts and know many of the older folks who were players in this business. There are a good many books written by the law fellows and the moonshine guys. Just finished 2of them. Hope to hear more from you. Dave KK4WW I. Floyd Virginia

A lot of them could not even afford copper much less stainless, they resorted to what they had
I wanna know how they build those
Its probably been a little longer than 30 years since that still sight was in use. Probably twice that long.
The 1972 bust in the video is my Grandfather Otha Quinn.
Ronald Quinn I’m a dependent of the Quinn’s but on the Brooks side. My great grandpa x4 was Jesse brooks of Franklin county.
Hi I would like to but it is 3 inches thick - it had a limited production of about 2 editions of about 1000 each - done by the author in Rocky Mt. Va. It may be available on line. It is very interesting.. The new movie "Lawless" about moonshine in Franklin County Virginia is good and based on real folks. I looked at it several weeks ago. Dave KK4WW in Floyd VA

How have you owned several of them
Would you scan that book? I'd like to read it
where can i get that book
Hi Chris - I do not know - I think I wanted to purchase a second one from the Author Kiester Greer not long after it came out and was out of luck. Only about 2000 or so were printed. I would think one would come up on Amazon sometime. why don,t you set up a Google Alert for the book title. Good luck. I was fortunate to meet up with Greer several times before he passedon.
