Carcassonne is in Letcher County, KY, near Blackey, and somewhat in-between Hazard and Whitesburg. The old school building that houses the center lies in a secluded area amid hills and trees in a rural area. First a K-12 school from the thirties until the seventies, it was converted into a community center in the late '60's for the people of Carcassonne, KY., and surrounding region.
