For Adair Countian in Rowetown area, Red Barn meant Edmonton

About: Scenic Metcalfe Co KY Turn at Red Barn photo by Johnnietta Jessie

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

Thanks, Johnietta, for sharing this memorable old barn. I too remember it from the many trips we made to Edmonton as I was growing up in the Rowetown area of Sparksville/Breeding.

It was just as easy to go to Edmonton as it was to Columbia from where we lived and with family (grandparents, uncles, aunts) and many friends living in Metcalfe County we made many trips over the years. This barn was always the point of arrival to Edmonton for me. It would be a shame to loose this landmark. I hope it lasts another lifetime to serve as a reminder of days gone.

s/Jennifer Fudge Carter

This brings our memory of when the guys were little and we drove KY 80 to their Mema's and Pepa's house on Rogers Street in Edmonton. When we'd reach the top of the Hill by the Kenneth Branstetters and they could just see the orange brick of Edmonton State Bank and the Edmonton Water Tower, they'd yell, everytime, always in unison, "Ed-mon-ton!!!!" at the top of their lungs. -EW

About: Adair Co., KY Historical Marker At Trabue-Russell House

Thanks so much for the long overdue effort to straighten the historic marker of Daniel Trabue. It has been crooked for at least 15 years.

Thanks again for all of the beautiful work on the Rose Garden, and the new effort by all parties (City of Columbia, Garden Club, and everyone else that helps) involved have certainly helped take the Trabue-Russell House to new found beauty and state of preservation.

There may be an opportunity for the public to enjoy it during the coming holiday season. Stay tuned for further developments.

Thank you,
