Hazard, Kentucky: Mother Goose Inn
A round stone building with egg-shaped windows was built to resemble a goose sitting on a rock nest. Completed as a produce market in 1940, the goose's eyes are old-style automobile headlights, designed to light up at night. The Goose's head fell off March 24, 2021, but was put back on August 27.

The head of Mother Goose fell to the ground due to longtime leaks and the recent ice storm. People in the community and all over are raising money to restore the beheaded, beloved goose to all her original glory.

Visitors can now tour the house, spend the night inside the Mother Goose House, as well as visit their craft market on the bottom floor. They have limited hours of operation, so be sure to call.

The Mother Goose Market is now an Inn (B&B) -- with an art and gift shop!
[Stephen Francia, 04/02/2020]One of the last times I went home to Hazard I took two friends with me. My Grandpa thought we should show them the Goose. We drove up right in front of the Goose and parked without a problem. The Mother Goose gas station is located next to the Goose, so you can park there if you did not want to park in front of the actual buildings. The Goose's eyes light up at night, so you may want to drive by it at night.
