Travel: Columbians find Rugby, TN tie to Adair Co., KY Horseless carriage components there include steel from Sandusky Steel, Columbia, KY. Click on headline for complete story, photo(s) By Margaret Taylor Sammy and I were in historic Rugby, Tennessee today, April 9, 2011. Rugby was founded in 1880 by Thomas Hughes. It was intended to be a class free agricultural Utopian community. In 1881, typhoid killed several in the community. Then problems with land titles, finances and an unusually bad winter were the beginnings of the end for this colony. Most, but not all, residents had left by 1900. Present day residents of Rugby have restored the few building that still stand. While we were visiting the library, we noticed a horseless carriage out front. When we entered the library, we met a Mr. Julian Bankston and inquired about the vehicle. He told the story of how he had build a replica of the horseless carriage in 2010, then asked where we were from. When we said Columbia, Kentucky, he then told us he had purchased the metal for his horseless carriage from Sandusky's Supply in Columbia, Kentucky. We thought that was quite fascinating. We have included a couple of pictures of Mr. Bankston, his horseless carriage which accompany this story. Thanks, Sammy and Margaret TaylorIf you go: Rugby, TN is approximately 90 miles south of Columbia, KY. From Columbia, KY, take KY 55 South to US 127 to south of Jamestown, TN, then TN 52 East to Rugby. This story was posted on 2011-04-10 07:04:19
