MEMORIES of BUELAH VILLA are shared by writer Don Graeter who used to come here as a child with his "Gran".

Heather is from Hickman, Kentucky and Teal from Ft. Mitchell. Drew and Heather are graduates of Murray State and the other four family members are UK grads. With the girls from far western and northern Kentucky, the family from Louisville, four UK grads and his mother and her family all from "cave country," Don says he feels like they've got the Commonwealth pretty well covered except for eastern Kentucky.

Logsdon was the L&N stationmaster at Horse Cave and his daughter worked for him there before she married. She told Don that part of her work at the depot included receiving the first word to reach Horse Cave on the telegraph that World War I had ended. She said it had really been exciting to run through town and spread the good word. Click 'read more' for more of Don's Memories of Sulphur Well.

Majestic (missing) ACHS Totem Pole discovered 2011-08-21 - McKinley Lane, Columbia, Ky - Photo by Ed Waggener. A close up of the (previously missing/now discovered) ACHS Indian Totem Pole shows the top mask and the lower thunderbird details. Fay McKinley reported its whereabouts, in the hands of son-in-law Rick Bault, in a location family members (including me, Uncle Ed) have passed by hundreds of times - and weren't aware of the historical treasure nearby. At nine feet tall, it is just 164 feet shy of the world's record largest totem pole at Alert Bay, British Columbia, Canada (according to the Wikipedia entry on Totem poles). Just in case anyone is inspired by the vision of former CJE James Brock for an Adair County entry into the Guinness Book of World Records, or even one for the late, Great Columbia Mayor Coy Downey's World Record Book of Guinnesses. The photo has been brightened and the details enhanced to show the art work by Mrs. Lambirth's four person art class team who created it in 1969: James Brockman, Elroy Willis, Norris Tucker, and Ralph Willis. -Uncle Ed Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Historic Picture: Kozy Korner Restaurant, Greensburg, KY 2011-08-21 - N. Main ST, Campbellsville, KY - Photo from the Larry Smith collection. Larry Smith writes: "Here's a 1958 photo of the Kozy Korner Rest on Main Street in Greensburg. My best memory of the rest was that the food was good and if you ordered a Coke the waitress always brought you a Double Cola. Greensburg was well known for supporting the community and Double Cola and Ski supported every child who went through the Green County School system. The Despain family owned Greensburg Bottling Company. They treated every student to a free Ski or Dubb, Chips and a pencil at least once per year, and Double Cola was a hit at the Kozy Korner. Greensburg was just a wonderful place to grow up in. Green County people are very simliar to Adair County folks - just laid back people with answers to life's problems. Growing up in Green County we were just basic down to earth people who cared about our neighbors and always went the extra mile to help. A photo like this one reminds us of much simpler times." Larry Smith, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communications, the Wave, FM 92.7 and the Big Dawg FM 99.9. The wrap-around windshield indicates a ca 1950s era for the photo. The building to the left was the Ford dealership of the time, then on N. Main, later north of town toward Summerville, KY, the Boyhood Home of Larry Smith. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The Missing ACHS Totem Pole is safe with Ricky Bault 2011-08-20 - Adair Co. Middle School, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Ricky Bault outbid the only other collector, Donald "Crash" Thrasher at a 2002 sale of surplus Adair County High School property when auctioneer Murrell Burton lowered the hammer on his $55 bid. Mitzi Bault still has the bidder number and the receipt secretary Carol Roy gave Ricky after he paid for the item. In its hidden stairwell location, the Totem Pole is difficult to photograph, but that's it at right. It measures some nine feet tall. The totem pole was in the original Adair County High School building at 322 Indian Drive, now the home of the Adair County Middle School.
