Many tourists each year travel to parts of West Virginia and Kentucky to see the areas and historic relics which remain from the days of the feud. For example, Bo McCoy, a college student, organized a joint reunion of the Hatfield and McCoy clans in 1993, and, according to the [[About.com]] website:
 
:As the McCuzzMcCoys's plans evolved, Pike County Tourism, [[Pikeville College]], and the City of Pikeville joined the McCoys in the development of the reunion. Word about the McCoy reunion in Pikeville, Ky [sic] quickly spread to the national level. Bo McCoy extended an invitation to the Hatfields on the McCoy reunion Web site, and when the Hatfields learned about it, they wanted to join. The West Virginia Division of Tourism joined forces with the [[Corridor G]] Tourism Project to provide some funding for a Hatfield event in WV to coincide with the McCoy event in Kentucky, and the reunion of the millennium was born!<ref>[http://genealogy.about.com/library/weekly/aa043000b.htm The Hatfield-McCoy reunion on About:genealogy]</ref>
 
Additionally, an entire recreation area, the 400-mile [[Hatfield-McCoy Trails]] system, has been created around the theme of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud.<ref>[http://www.americantrails.org/nationalrecreationtrails/trailNRT/HatfieldMcCoy-WV.html Hatfield-McCoy Regional Recreation Area on AmericanTrails.org]</ref>
