The Hometown Park now features two informational markers detailing the history of the facility.

The roadside park along Route 62 in Hometown has a new name — a name which has links to the days when coal mining was booming in the area. The new moniker, Mitchell’s Grove, was revealed in a rededication event which was held on Friday, May 17. The event featured the musical talents of up-and-coming singer Mason Adkins of Winfield, as well as several local craft vendors.
