WHAT IS APPALACHIA’S
FRONT PORCH?
Appalachia’s Front Porch is a regional tourism initiative that brings together the people, places, and experiences that make the Tri-State area feel like home. Spanning communities across Northeast Kentucky, Southern Ohio, and Southern West Virginia, it connects river towns, outdoor adventures, local dining, live entertainment, history, and culture into one shared story. This region has always been a gathering place, a front porch where neighbors meet, stories are shared, and visitors are welcomed like friends. Appalachia’s Front Porch invites you to explore at your own pace, discover what makes each place unique, and feel part of something bigger the moment you arrive. You can do big things in our small towns and we are happy you are here.
