Pine Knob is an unincorporated community in Grayson County, Kentucky, United States.
Pine Knob was settled around 1777 for its wildlife and an abundant spring water supply.
In 1987, Pine Knob Diner and Amphitheatre, an open air dinner theater, accompanied with a 1950s-era diner, opened for live performances.[2]
Many of the community's original buildings, such as the Pine Knob School and an old general store building have been well-preserved.[3]
Pine Knob is located about north of Caneyville. It is situated along a locally maintained road off of Kentucky Route 79 between Caneyville and Short Creek.[4]
