Price reduced on historic home for sale
2023-05-28 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
The price has been reduced on the 213-year-old John Field House, 111 Reed Street, Columbia, KY. Call Tom Waggener for details at 270-529-1317. Estimates are coming in for needed brick repairs. It is pictured at right as the house is today and at left is a photo of the house in hand hooked rug art created from scratch by former resident John Hunter Walker of Frankfort.
The father of Mark Twain, John Marshall Clements, rented a room in the upstairs of this house as a young attorney. He married Columbian Jane Lampton and they lived in the house while he practiced law. She visited Columbia many times after they moved, but there's no record of their son, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), coming with her. However, this doesn't discourage those of us who enjoy the lore that Mark Twain could have been conceived in this very house. Genealogist Mike Watson is authoring a book on history of the house.

On holiday at Holmes Bend
2023-05-28 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
These birds aren't really pets, so the sign doesn't apply to them. Nor do they have to pay any attention to the weather when they want to enjoy the beach at Holmes Bend Marina on Green River Lake. Sunday, May 28, may have been some kind of winter we're going through. Cold and gray, it was not exactly a day for swimming. Comments | Permalink
