From the Trabue Russell House beginnings In 1785 Daniel Trabue and his brother James decided to leave Virginia and establish new homes in Kentucky. Traveling was quite difficult. His writing (below) can be read on the desk that overlooks the Square in Columbia. "When we got on the frontiers the knews was the Indeans was very troublesome, and but few people was agoing the wilderness road... We concluded we would travel in the night in the most dangerous places. So we set out and got to Cumberland Gap about dark, expecting we could git by daylight to the Big Lick which is above 20 miles... And... Then we would take to the woods... "But the darkness of the night and the dreadful bad mud holes and slippery banks and Canebrakes and some logs... Across the road..., Day overtook us much sooner than we wished..." - From Westward Into Kentucky The House is open to the public this weekend and next for the Student Art Show from 1-3pmCT.
