Historic Trabue Russell House gets interior checkup, requests By Linda Waggener This spring the City of Columbia's historic Trabue Russell House (TRH) got both inside and outside audits. The Adair County garden club did the exterior, stated basic needs and the City of Columbia, its owner, has taken care of most of those requests by now. Vonnie Kolbenschlag requested an interior check and asked for involvement from the City Council. We did a walk through the interior. Following are some of the things in need repair as the late Jim Blair's gift earns interest income that may be spent on it. First and foremost, we discussed the need for a TRH mission statement and a stated purpose for this historic home -- by the City. Names of those who have contributed volunteer hours and over monies over the years need updating on the list inside the back entrance. If it is to be a place for meetings other than in the seasons of early spring and fall when the high ceilings allow it to be comfortable, then there will be for insulation and central air. Other maintenance needs include: insulation, removal of the damaged rug in the front room, it's a trip hazard, a handrail at the step down and check on the rail going up the stairs. Information throughout needs updating in wording and materials. These were done by Mrs. Kolbenschlag in the beginning and she volunteers to update all of the information with the city paying for materials, printing and frames. There is a short in the light switch in stairway. Minutes of all years of The Adair Heritage Association need to be housed in the public library as soon as possible, if they are not already there. Once maintenance is completed, the historic Trabue Russell House should be managed in coordination and cooperation between the city and all libraries in the county -- the Lindsey Wilson College library, The Adair County Public Library, and the libraries of the Adair County public schools. Perhaps one of the libraries would volunteer to work with the City and take the management of library contents and schedules of events? This is such an important part of the future of this house. Trabue-Russell House given over to city The Trabue Russell House history museum, saved and refurbished by the Adair Heritage Association, has been given over the the City of Columbia for future operations. Trabue House tours are free anytime people would like to visit by calling 384-2501 to make arrangements. The house can be rented for $50 for an event, plus a refundable deposit of $50. The Julia Miller Horton Memorial Rose Garden is open to the public. This story was posted on 2016-07-01 08:17:51
