Donor replaces drone lost in Chestnut Grove From the Columbia Police Department On April 20, 2026, the Columbia Police Department and the Campbellsville Police Department assisted the Adair County Sheriff's Office during an Active Shooter Incident that occurred on Chestnut Grove Road in Adair County. During the incident, Columbia Chief of Police Evan Burton and Campbellsville Police Sergeant Elliott Taylor operated DJI Avata 2 drones to provide aerial observation in support of responding agencies. The Campbellsville Police Department's drone was shot down by the suspect while assisting with the operation. Following the incident, Chief Burton contacted an anonymous Adair County resident who is a strong supporter of law enforcement and informed them of the loss. The resident generously purchased a replacement drone for the Campbellsville Police Department. "The partnership between law enforcement agencies is vital in this profession," said Chief of Police Evan Burton. "There were multiple agencies from nearly all adjoining counties who responded to assist during this incident. I want to personally thank the Campbellsville Police Department for their support. As a token of appreciation, a replacement drone has been provided." The Columbia Police Department extends its gratitude to all agencies that responded and assisted during the incident and recognizes the continued importance of cooperation and teamwork in protecting the communities in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 2026-04-27 13:42:09 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports
Place Names: How Adair Co. roads got their names Part 5 of Mike Watson's "Place Names in Adair County" presentation, from the March 2, 2026, meeting of the Adair County Genealogical Society at the Adair County Genealogy and History Research Center. By Michael C. Watson Adair County Genealogical Society Buffalo Traces were our first roads. Two traces converged where Columbia was founded. The town of Columbia was laid out in 1802. Main Street on the original plat map ran "through" the present location of the courthouse as there was no building there at the time. East Main became Jamestown Street and West Main became Greensburg Street, as they each led in the direction of those towns. Market Street was the North-South Street and South Market became Burkesville Street and North Market became Campbellsville Street. Take into consideration Market and Main as names were dropped over several decades. Greensburg and Burkesville existed when Columbia was founded, Jamestown and Campbellsville came later.
