Sunset on the historic Adair Courthouse clock tower 2019-08-26 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Clouds parted long enough for late day sun to spotlight the historic Adair County Courthouse clock tower. Every time I take a moment to appreciate this landmark in the center of Columbia I wonder if there can be funds discovered for restoration. I appreciated a recent discussion with forward-thinking ACMS student Brody Blair who would also like to see it kept up. He had the idea that tours for a small fee would be a good way to raise money. This view is from West Fortune Street beside Columbia United Methodist Church. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
