Riprapping project, looking west toward Baker's Store 2012-02-21 - Elkhorn Road, Knifley, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Kentucky Highway Department riprapping project to stop this small stream from undercutting Elkhorn Road, the main East-West throughfare in Knifley, KY, looking west gives a perspective of the scope of the project in relationship to Baker's Store, just beyond. Long tenures of store owners is a hallmark of the Knifley tradition. Owners Darrell and Gala Baker have kept the doors open to this store for 30 years, this year, one of the longest ownerships of any business in Adair County. The business ownership goes back to Mr. Burton, from whom the Baker's purchased it, to the late Marshall Chelf, back to Louise Spires and then back to her mother, Hallie Knifley, who took over the business from her father, L.R. Chelf, who started the store in another location in first decade of the 1900s. -ED WAGGENER Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Concrete stone riprapping stops undercutting of KY 76 2012-02-21 - Knifley, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. It's not overwhelming, but it's a big enough project it's difficult to overlook: The Kentucky Highway Department has constructed a long rough cement, stone riprap alongside Elkhorn Road/KY 76 in Downtown Knifley to stop the small stream - couldn't find out if it has a name - from undercutting the road. The view above is looking east, from the entrance to a barn on the property of Gabehart Farm & Stables, behind which stands the boyhood home of Knifley's first rocket scientist, Richard Hovious.
