Among the historical documents on the walls of the Trabue Russell House is this news of Rose Kennedy, mother of then presidential candidate John F. Kennedy, when she brought his national campaign to Adair County, September 34, 1960. The event, a tea, was held at Cornelia Hughes' Motel on East 80 just past Circle R in Columbia. Hosted by local Democratic women, the regional event saw almost 1,000 women meet the future President's mother.
