Lanterns & Tombstones at Mount Carmel was excellent From Dave Thomas and Mike Watson A huge thank you from Dave and Mike to all those who came out to Mount Carmel Cemetery for Friday night's Lanterns & Tombstones Tour. We had an excellent event, wandered over the cemetery, told a few stories, and we learned some great information for a future event. A little history: Mount Carmel Cemetery is located adjacent to the Mount Carmel Church. When Green River lands were impounded and the Lake began forming, many small cemeteries in the area were to be relocated. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were to move all known burials to newly designated sites. Twenty-four graveyards were moved to Mount Carmel. Those moved were: Johnston, Mont E. Corbin, Cox, Old Mt. Carmel, Chester Corbin, Loy, Leach, Watson-Rice, Overstreet, Ballou, Riall, Renfro, Pike, ourning, Russell, Feese, Arnold, Tucker, Plum Point, Christie, Knifley, Watson, Thomas, Campbell, and Fischer--the Fischer Cemetery was not originally moved here, it was missed in the relocation process. Later, at low water, some fishermen spotted the stones above water, reported it and the Corps came to relocate it. All graves were to be removed, even those with fieldstone markers, and those with no marker but with evidence that it was a burial site.

Holmes Bend Marina riding a new tourism wave By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress After weathering one of the most difficult seasons in its history last year, Holmes Bend Marina is enjoying reaching new heights. The Columbia-Adair Chamber of Commerce will hold its August lunch meeting at the Marina on Green River Lake Tuesday, August 11. Governor Andy Beshear recently announced that Kentucky tourism generated an all-time record $14.6 billion in economic impact during 2025, marking the fourth consecutive record-breaking year for the state's tourism industry. More than 81.1 million visitors traveled throughout Kentucky, spending $10.4 billion directly while supporting nearly 97,000 jobs statewide. For Adair County, those statewide trends translate into visitors discovering Green River Lake, Holmes Bend Marina and the county's growing outdoor recreation opportunities. The most recent county figures show tourism contributes $18.1 million annually to Adair County's economy, supports 129 local jobs, generates $3.2 million in labor income and produces more than $1.1 million in state and local tax revenue.
