But the fourth floor does hold this museum, which is not huge but does comprise several rooms. I was offered a tour with the warning that this could take minutes or hours. Unlike most visitors, I was not primarily interested in the Hatfield-McCoy feud, but the history of medicine in the area. This topic does get one bit of hallway to itself. My tour guide wasn't really knowledgeable on the history of osteopathic medicine (which would be a big ask, frankly), but did have plenty of anecdotes about the area. Other topical rooms covered all sorts of local history. The Hatfield-McCoy exhibit is front and center, but there is definitely more than that to be discussed. It isn't fancy, but I didn't feel bad about spending $5 and some of my time here, and I left with a little piece of coal they offer as a souvenir.

It now draws students from many states and foreign lands. The Celtic Cross, visible from many points of wide area, symbolizes its Christian aims and purposes." It is marker number 884 and it was erected in 1965 by the Kentucky Historical Society and Kentucky Department of Highways. Local Presbyterians founded the school that students literally helped build by making bricks and raising the first structure themselves. Under James Franklin Record, the institution became a regional center for teacher training and evolved into an accredited junior college by 1909, eventually phasing out its academy and shifting fully into higher education. The campus repeatedly served as a refuge during the catastrophic floods of 1957 and 1977, becoming one of the few dry, stable places in town when residents needed shelter. Its boldest transformation came in 1997 with the creation of the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine, which focused on training rural physicians for underserved Appalachian communities. In 2011 it became the University of Pikeville, reflecting a broadened mission shaped as much by community service and adaptability as by its Presbyterian roots.
