Coming to Adair County from Russell County 2019-07-11 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Traveling from Russell County toward Adair on Hwy 92, the sign tells you where one county stops and the other begins.

Kentucky Color: A Useful FYI 2019-07-10 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. On the right is Virginia Creeper and on the left, is Poison Ivy!
