A fall tradition returns to Woodland Cemetery

S

ummer is winding down, but that doesn’t mean activities in the Tri-State are coming to an end.

From Chesapeake’s Octoberfest, to Poage Landing Days in Ironton, to the Pumpkins on Vernon vendor fair in Ironton, there will be many opportunities to get out and enjoy the community in coming months.

One extremely popular event is organized by the Lawrence County Museum, whose president, Nicole Cox, contributed the Last Word column to this month’s issue.

The annual Historic Cemetery Walk will take place at Woodland Cemetery from 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 30.

The free and public event usually draws a large crowd, as people from the community portray the notables buried on the grounds, which include Ironmaster Nannie Kelly Wright, acclaimed artist and author Edward Gorey, World War I flying ace Col. William Lambert of Imperial Russian Ballet dancer Antoinette Sherpetoska Peters.

It is a great kickoff to fall, so drop by and check it out. You may learn something about the history of this area that is new to you.

A PASSION

PRESERVED Museum of Radio & Technology is dedicated to broadcast history Story Heath Harrison | Photography Larry Rees

“W

e need to go through all of this,” Bob Ripley said of the sizeable amount of vintage radio equipment on the floor. “And pick out what we’re going to keep and going to sell.”

The spread was just the latest of many donations received by the Museum of Radio & Technology, adding to its already massive collection.

Ripley, the vice president of the museum, said the donations were moved into a side room that day, in order to make room for a swap meet, one of three the museum hosts that year, in which they sell excess items to raise funds.

He said they often receive large donations, coming from the lifetime amassing of a collector, taking up a garage.

“A lot of families call us up after someone dies and say, ‘We don’t know what to do with this,’” he said. “Sadly, a lot of it ends up in landfills.”

It is the passion of such collectors that led to the birth of the museum, located at 1460 Florence Ave. In Huntington, 28 years ago, Ripley said.

“It all started with one of those breakfast meetings with a husband and wife,” Ripley said. “The wife looks over the breakfast table and says, ‘You know, I really like the fact that you like to restore and renovate these old radios, but when they start spilling over into the bathroom and kitchen, you’ve got to do something about them.’”

The museum was founded by Geoffrey Bourne and Lloyd McIntire, in the former Harveytown Elementary School, which became available due to school consolidation.

“And there were several likeminded people in the area who were looking for a home for their collections,” Ripley said.

When the museum moved in, Ripley said there was a strong echo in the building, which went away as it was filled with the hundreds of items in the museum’s collection, which absorbed the sound.

Spread over nine rooms, Ripley said the collection is arranged to show how technology has progressed over time.

“If you walk in and take a right, you go into the 1920s room,” he said. “When radio was brand new, it was like the latest technology.

There were two paths to take — you could buy an already-made radio from a manufacturer, which was super expensive — or, what a lot of people did, they would open up their copy of Popular Science or Popular Mechanics, see the schematic for a radio, go to a radio store and buy the parts and pieces to build their own.”

Next up is the classroom.

“It has teaching aids for teaching electronics, including a slide rule,” Ripley said. “I love showing slide rules to kids. They have no idea what they are.”

Following that is the shortwave room, following changes from the 1930s to the 1940s, going into the advent of television.

Ripley points out that this technology came about before the 1950s, which most think of as the dawn of television.

“TV was invented before World War II,” he said. “But it was not implemented because everything went into the war effort.”

The broadcast room features cameras and studio equipment, many from local stations.

“We show the other end of technology and how it comes into your house,” Ripley said.

Tri-StateLiving | 11

arts & culture | On Display

12 | Tri-StateLiving

In the classroom is a particularly unique piece related to television.

“It is a proof of concept television camera,” Ripley said “It was the first public introduction of that technology, done at the 1939 World’s Fair.”

He notes the RCA logo on the camera.

“Even though it says ‘RCA,’ it was joint collaboration between RCA, Westinghouse and General Electric,” Ripley said. “Those three companies together came up with the standards for television that we have today. There are only three of these cameras in existence. We have one, one is in California and another is in Hilliard, Ohio.”

Another rare item he points out is a large glass tube, which they call “the egg.”

“It’s a rectifier tube,” Ripley said. “They used these in pairs. If you went into a deep shaft coal mine in West Virginia in the 1950s and 1960s, you would see a building that had two mercury tilt rectifiers.

They powered underground equipment in coal mines and turned AC to DC power.”

There is a story behind many of the items, such as the large model ship on top of a radio in the hallway.

Ripley explains that, in the 1920s, the United States was celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock and, in many wealthy homes, such ships were built and placed on top of

large radios as adornment.

“Somebody who had this kind of radio — it is $12,000 in today’s dollars — would highlight and showcase them and had one of these boats built,” he said.

That radio shows the scope of the donations the museum has received. Ripley said it came from the estate of the family behind the Wrigley’s chewing gum company and museum staff traveled to Wisconsin to acquire it.

As for how many items are in the collection, Ripley said their archivist has counted 1,900 pieces so far, but she estimates she is only two thirds of the way through that task.

The museum operates as a 501 3k nonprofit, operating from grants and donations and all of its staff are volunteers.

“No one takes a salary here,” he said His story is like many he said. While restoring old radios, he came to the museum to learn about the hobby, and immediately was taken with it and got involved.

“We have so many people who come to the museum, they take a tour, fall in love — sand say ‘All right, what I can do to help?’” he said.

In addition to giving tours, volunteers regularly come in for building maintenance and tasks such as cleaning and dusting.

The museum is also host to the exhibits of the West Virginia

Tri-StateLiving | 13

arts & culture | On Display

Broadcasting Hall of Fame, which honors those in radio and TV, from anchors to DJs to managers to engineers, with yearly inductions.

Handled by a separate committee, nominations are submitted by those in the industry and reviewed and six inductees are chosen each fall.

Ripley said they have people come in from afar and the museum has made a name for itself among enthusiasts, but he said they would like to get the word out more to locals in West Virginia and the Tri-State.

“We have visitors who seek this place out all over the world and all over the country,” he said. “But, here, nobody knows we exist. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that from people Huntington. We’re one of the best-kept secrets in West Virginia.”

The museum is open year round, on weekends, with no charge of admission, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. It is also open by appointment for schools and tour buses. For more information, visit www.mrtwv.org. a

atmosp.2here.3 Story Amanda Larch | Photography Sara Bloss

Barboursville business builds following by combining bookstore and bar

W

hen you step into Booktenders WV, you’re usually greeted by co-owners Mandee Cunningham and Ashley Skeen — and Buddy the bookshop dog.

Bright colors, natural light, walls of books and a friendly dog all might describe any indie bookstore, but what makes Booktenders extra special is what’s on tap.

Best friends Cunningham and Skeen say the decision to add a bar with wine, beer, coffee and tea was natural, as the pair have been bartenders for years.

“Thinking about what kind of bookstore I would want to go to, I

Tri-StateLiving | 17

shopping | In the Biz

18 | Tri-StateLiving

would definitely love a glass of wine while I’m shopping for books,” Skeen says. “We’re hosting book clubs — what’s a book club, without a bunch of ladies sitting around drinking wine?”

The pair also joke about Booktenders’ origin story coming about because of a mistake.

“Our landlord is a friend of ours, and very jokingly one night, as he was developing this building, said, ‘Do you want to open a coffee shop?’ I said, ‘No, I’ve always dreamed of opening a bookstore, though,’” Skeen recalls.

Their landlord lit up and agreed, saying he would love to put a bookstore in the space.

“Then I made the mistake of telling Mandee, and the next day, she had a spreadsheet, and I was like, ‘Oh, wow, we are actually doing this,’” Skeen laughs.

Not only has the community’s support been vital for the growth of Booktenders, it was there before they even opened.

With most of their challenges occurring prior to opening the doors, that support kept them going, Cunningham says, and still means a lot to them today.

“We’ve had so many people that were excited before we opened, and we’ve had so many more people who have only learned about us because they walked or drove by and saw the sign and came

Tri-StateLiving | 19

shopping | In the Biz

In the Biz | shopping

in,” Cunningham says. “They’re also now regular customers who come in all the time.

The community has been amazing.”

Officially opening June 16, 2022, some of the highlights so far have been welcoming New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood to Booktenders. Despite only opening two months prior, and taking place in the parking lot, the event drew a large crowd and was a tremendous success.

Learning customers’ reading preferences is another of the pair’s favorite aspects of owning a bookstore.

“It’s so fun to get to know our customers, and when they walk in the door say, ‘We got one in you’re going to love’ or ‘I just read a book that I think you’ll really like,’” Skeen says. “When we started, we bought a bunch of books. We didn’t know what would work and what wouldn’t and, now, we’re really learning our customers and what we should buy.”

Social media is a great way to spread the word about their business and remains “an awesome way for book lovers to find us,” says Skeen. It’s also an effective way to get feedback from customers, from what books they’d like to see in the shop to events they’d like to see offered and more.

Cunningham and Skeen have both been pleased with the support on social media from the beginning.

“We were excited about the idea of having an indie bookstore in town, and when we announced Booktenders six months prior to opening, the excitement and sheer amount of shares was overwhelming, yet affirming,” Skeen says.

“We not only offer a bookstore to our customers, we also offer a community.”

Each Tuesday, Skeen will post a video with new releases, to give customers a taste of what’s new in store.

“It was never meant to be a regular thing, but so many people tell me they look forward to them each week and that’s been super fun,” she says.

Tri-StateLiving | 21

shopping | In the Biz

The shop has a lounge for book clubs to host their meetings, and Booktenders even has its own book club, too, for people who have always wanted to join a book club before but didn’t have access to one.

“With our drinks, our lounge, and our bar, we give people the opportunity and a place to just sit and relax and read or get out of their house; if people are still working from home, we give them a place to come that’s not their house,” Skeen says.

Like any community bookstore, Booktenders offers service that customers can’t find elsewhere, especially on Amazon.

“We have that personal touch, and we might guide you to a book that Amazon won’t guide you to because of algorithms and be able to spin you in the direction of something you’ll fall in love with,” Skeen says.

Not only does this benefit customers, but that personal service also benefits local authors.

“On the author front, we’re there,” Cunningham says. “If you’re an author, you’re going to get more face time here, because we don’t have eight million authors; we have a curated selection.”

That curated selection means Booktenders is going to hand sell a lot of books, something many other big-name stores don’t, or can’t, do for local and regional authors. They also have shelves dedicated just to local authors and interest, benefiting independent authors and those publishing with a small press.

“We also support our local artists and communities in that way,” Skeen says.

During the school year, Booktenders has their own reading rewards challenge program in connection with the 1861 Public House in Barboursville. For every $18.61 customers spend in book purchases, they get a gold star. After eight gold stars, they receive a token to take to 1861 for a free pizza and drink.

“That’s really popular, because it’s just

22 | Tri-StateLiving

In the Biz | shopping

this nostalgia, like going to Pizza Hut and getting your personal pan pizza because you read so many pages,” Skeen says.

Now that they’ve hired their first employee, there are exciting things in the future for Booktenders, including hosting more events and continuing with their book club, which will start putting out a newsletter soon.

The owners are also looking forward to another busy holiday season and expanding their Giving Tree, which allows customers to purchase books for children from the shop’s large selection of children’s books.

“There are things that we hope to keep doing and doing better, and things that we’ve always wanted to add since the beginning but just haven’t had time,” Skeen says. “We’re also booking authors for a few months out.”

As booksellers, there are a few books Cunningham and Skeen recommend over and over to customers. Skeen’s favorite genre is thrillers, and she enjoys selling her most recently read thriller, though she always recommends “The House on the Cerulean Sea.” “That’s a book that crosses all genre boundaries,” she says.

“Wool,” by Hugh Howey, is Cunningham’s number one recommendation, which now has an Apple TV adaptation.

“I probably try to push Wool on anyone who will come in,

just because I’ve loved that book forever,” Cunningham says.

“I was pushing it before I even knew the series. Both of us like recommending Fredrik Bakman a lot, and generally, I think I recommend ‘How Rights Went Wrong’ all the time. I’m always pulling that up.”

Booktenders is located at 621 Central Ave. in Barboursville and is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Mondays, noon-7 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and 1-5 p.m. on Sundays. a

uniquely Appalachian

C

ombining a love of nature with homegrown heritage, The Hippie’s Daughter is an online Appalachian boutique that’s found success outside the Mountain State.

From apparel, like hats, socks, bandanas and shirts, to accessories, including motel keychains, magnets, stickers, patches and pins, the Hippie’s Daughter offers a wide range of curated Appalachian art.

I’m meeting with Elizabeth Elswick, owner of the shop, at Coal River Coffee Company in Saint Albans, West Virginia, where, coincidentally, Elswick has some of her Hippie’s Daughter swag for sale.

Elswick tells me her background in, and childhood love of, art helped launch her business, but many of her inspirations come from her parents and the uniquely West Virginian and Appalachian sayings

Tri-StateLiving | 27

The Hippie’s Daughter | feature

she grew up hearing.

“I pulled from things that I’ve heard my entire life growing up in West Virginia, quite often in the outdoors,” she says.

While some may not be print-friendly to relay here, one favorite phrase from Elswick’s father that has made its way into her inspired designs is “Whatcah doin’?

Ohh, just mildewin,’” that I hope everyone reads with an authentic Appalachian accent, because I sure do.

The Hippie’s Daughter also has “Fiddle Fart” and “Bless Your Heart” designs available, too, to give you an idea of the kinds of fun products for sale. With such a repertoire, it’s hard for Elswick to pick favorites in her collection.

“There’s so many, because a lot of them I’ve taken from what I’ve heard my parents say my entire life,” Elswick says. “I’m sure many other people that have grown up around here just hear this all the time.”

Elswick has a few macrame pieces available in her shop, as her father taught her to macrame as a child. Growing up, she also hand painted canvases, which she says later transitioned into her nowpopular stickers and apparel. Elswick’s husband happened to coin the term hippie’s daughter, long before she thought about starting her own business.

“It’s funny, though, because I actually didn’t come up with the name,” she says.

“My husband did. He called me the hippie’s daughter one day, and we were both like, ‘Oh, that’s a good business name.’”

With an art background and a business name in tow, Elswick started The Hippie’s Daughter in 2017, while working a full-time job that she soon realized wasn’t the right fit for her creative self.

“I started Hippie’s Daughter to kind of get back into art, which I had pursued my entire schooling, through high school and college, and then I left it to get a real job, which just wasn’t it,” she says.

Having found tremendous success over

Tri-StateLiving | 29

feature | The Hippie’s Daughter

the years, on the horizon for The Hippie’s Daughter is a physical location to continue to expand the business and shop. Elswick just purchased a building to mainly be used as an office space, but she has hopes of including a small retail space in the future as well.

“We have a lot of just little things to do before I can move in, so that’ll probably take a few months, but it’ll mostly be an office space,” she says. “So I can have a good office and I can better do the manufacturing and shipping because I print all the apparel myself.”

Having worked out of her home since the, shop began, Elswick is elated to have her own office space.

“I took over our two spare bedrooms and outgrew that years ago. We’ve just been making it work,” she says.

Last year, in just the first quarter, Elswick says she had already sold to all 50 states, as well as Canada.

The Hippie’s Daughter products can be purchased online at https:// thehippiesdaughter.com/ as well as on Etsy.

Elswick’s original designs are also available in businesses in the area such as at Coal River Coffee Company, Beckley’s Tamarack Marketplace, and in Bridgeport, West Virginia, at Market on Main.

Additionally, her wares are available for wholesale from Faire.com, which works especially well for orders outside the state.

“I don’t even know how many stores wholesale now,” she says. “But they’re mostly spread through Appalachia, and there’s some more to the west that will wholesale from me.”

Aside from growing organically, social media also plays a key part in The Hippie’s Daughter’s success and exposure. One particular TikTok video in 2021 skyrocketed Elswick’s popularity online.

“That has been an insane journey,” Elswick says. “I had TikTok kind of go crazy and then the floodgates just opened.”

30 | Tri-StateLiving

One of Elswick’s favorite aspects of owning the Hippie’s Daughter is traveling to different markets and events in the state and surrounding areas — some of her favorite memories stem from these events.

“It’s really fun to do markets and have people come up and tell me the stories of where they heard this (phrase) from, or who said it, or even who they’re buying it for,” Elswick says. “It still blows my mind.”

Having gone to college for graphic design, Elswick designs all her own pieces.

She also embroiders many of them and will macrame when she has the time and energy.

Speaking of energy, how does Elswick avoid burnout, when her creative passion and job are now linked? The answer: taking small breaks and spending time in nature.

“It happens constantly,” she says. “I just try to take at least a little break, get a little refresh. We’ll go to Summersville, take the dogs swimming, or I’ll just try a completely different project, like how I’m doing some different graphic design projects now that’s completely different than Hippie’s Daughter, so it kind of helps with a little refresh.”

Elswick is glad to be a West Virginia native creating West Virginia art.

“We need more of it,” she says. “West Virginia has kind of a bad rap with a lot of the country, and we need to show them that’s not us.”

The support from fellow Appalachian creatives and small business owners means the world to her as well.

“It’s been amazing, just the fellow friends and business owners in West Virginia; they’re so supportive. They will support you till the day they die,” she smiles. “And I support them just the same. It’s a great community. I wish outsiders could see that more.” a

Group enhances city’s downtown

Ironton aLive | living

Story Cat Shaffer | Photography Heath Harrison, Mark Shaffer

endors of tomatoes, peaches, green beans and other farm delicacies were doing a brisk business on a coolish August Friday in downtown Ironton, and overseeing it all was Sam Heighton, executive director of Ironton aLive.

The farmers market, held on Friday and Saturday, from May 1 through the end of October, is only one way the organization keeps downtown Ironton buzzing. Tuesday nights in July and August bring concerts during the farmer’s market season and a monthly car show attracts crowds as well.

These events are the public face of Ironton aLive. Heighton says the purpose of the group is to enhance the downtown area. That includes working with the city when new businesses consider coming to town.

“I serve as a go-between for interested businesses and the city,” he said. “The city lets me know about an interest and I help them locate here.”

That includes keeping inventory of empty buildings and knowing what might be suit someone who would like to be part of Ironton’s downtown.

The farmers market is perhaps the most visible project to Ironton aLive. Heighton says the market obeys regulations that call for only 40 percent of the vendors to be crafters, with 60 percent local producers. Items such as jellies and baked goods must come from an Ohio cottage industry, with the items produced in the seller’s own kitchen.

On the second Saturday of each month, Ironton In Bloom sets up at the farmers market to offer food, with the proceeds

helping their community projects.

Ironton aLive doesn’t go into hibernation when the market closes.

It organizes and promote Small Business Saturday on the weekend of Thanksgiving to promote shopping local, and also organizes local business after hours events.

The purpose of Ironton aLive, Heighton says, is its name: Creating a connection between residents, visitors and business to make Ironton a great place. He cites the variety of downtown restaurants and speaks of additions to be made at Friends Park.

A lifelong resident, Heighton was a member of the Jaycees in the 1960s when the organization raised $60,000 so streets would be marked.

“We raised enough to pay for the concrete, poles and signs,” he

said. “Most of those signs are gone now, replaced with new ones.”

Life took him away from civic support until the 1980s when a movement began to bring Ironton out of a slump. When Ironton aLive began in 2011, he started as a member. Soon he was doing more and eventually assumed the role of executive director. He is continually looking at ways for the city to be come more vital and has no intention of hanging up his hat anytime soon.

“I’d probably die if I wasn’t doing this,” he said. “It keeps me active.

There’s a lot I want to accomplish yet.”

Heighton calls Ironton a “very special place,” and sees the downtown’s rebirth as only the beginning.

“Ironton has gotten better and it keeps getting better,” he said. a

Cargo House Pizza has huge following in small location Story Cat Shaffer | Photography Cat Shaffer, Submitted

ne difference between Cargo House Pizza and other purveyors in Ashland is obvious on first glance. Rather than brick-andmortar building, this pizza place operates from a shipping container — actually, says owner Erin Hutchinson of Catlettsburg, two containers put together.

The menu is a little different, too. Want a ham and pineapple pizza? Just order the Honolulu Harbor.

In the mood for one with everything? That would be the Port of Detroit (the home of the Supremes), which is loaded.

All the pizzas at the Cargo House bear names of ports, including the dessert pizzas: Apple pie pizza is the Port of New York, the Big Apple; Port Everglades is a strawberry pie with streusel and vanilla icing and Port of Mexico has cinnamon and sugar with vanilla icing.

Hutchinson said the naming springs from the use of shipping containers. The restaurant

Tri-StateLiving | 41

food | Cargo House Pizza

also offers sandwiches and pasta with quite ordinary names, like meatball sub and chicken alfredo.

Cargo House Pizza opened about three months ago as yet another of Hutchinson’s business enterprises. She owns a pawn shop in Ashland, a construction company, with her husband, and once had the trampoline park at Cedar Knoll, which she then moved to Huntington.

That business was a victim of COVID-19, as a lack of business caused its closure.

Although the trampoline park was gone, people still asked about the pizza served there. That set Hutchinson to thinking about offering in a standalone store, not part of another business.

The shipping containers were moved onto a lot she already owned at 2415 Carter Ave. and renovated.

The restaurant offers carryout and delivery, although a small patio has a few tables where diners can sit. Hutchinson says the restaurant has received a warm reception in the neighborhood.

“This area needed it,” she said. “There are really no restaurants around here.”

She says lunchtime is the busiest, thanks in part to its nearness to

42 | Tri-StateLiving

KDMC. Even though the place hasn’t been there long, it has its share of regulars.

“We have people who come all the time and know exactly what they want,” she said. “We rely on them to offer their opinion as we settle in.”

Her earliest experience with pizza was years ago when she helped open and worked at a Giovanni’s in West Virginia. She loves to cook and feed people, so she used her family and friends as testers when she developed her own recipes.

“I take pride in what we serve out of here,” she said. “Very little comes from a box or a can. We make our own sauce, which is sweet with a bit of a kick, and our salad dressings are made fresh every morning.”

She says all the menu items, including the salads and sandwiches are made to order.

This new adventure doesn’t take all of her time, Hutchinson says. She is an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Kenova and Charleston, following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother.

“Eastern Star is my family,” she said, adding that she is not only

Cargo House Pizza | food

active in her chapters, but will be a statelevel officer in West Virginia next year.

Hutchinson’s love for people is obvious as she talks. She speaks lovingly about the restaurant’s neighborhood, which has a lower per capita income than other parts of Ashland, and how she tries to keep her prices affordable while also covering expenses.

“I’ve had to raise them slightly since we opened because of costs, but I like to think we’re offering really good food at an affordable price,” she said.

The menu items have also changed slightly since opening. Hutchinson said the popularity of each item will be weighed and some may drop from the menu while others are added.

“Our sandwiches were so popular when we opened that we had to take them off temporarily while the staff got the menu items down,” she said. “But they’re back because people really like them.”

As if to prove the point, a motorist slows down when he spots Hutchinson on the patio and shouts out a thumbs up for the Italian sub.

“I love that,” she said. “Hearing from customers that they like the food means we’re doing something right. We’ve had a few people with complaints, but nearly everyone says they like what we’re serving.”

While some people might shy away from the kitchen after working all day in a restaurant, Hutchinson does not. The love of feeding people that brought her to open Cargo House Pizza doesn’t fade when she goes home.

“I cook a meal every Sunday and invite the family to come,” she said. “That means friends, as well as relatives. Sometimes, I’ll have 30 and, sometimes, it’s just eight.

There’s nothing I like better than seeing people appreciate the food I make.”

Cargo House Pizza is open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Orders can be placed on its website at www.

Shared heritage and history can unite a community

M

y favorite aspect of local history is not uncovering lost cemeteries, digging up relics of the old railroads, or even visiting the iron furnaces.

The best part of our history here in Lawrence County is how it brings people together.

With so much to divide us these days, exploring our shared heritage crosses social and political boundaries, is oblivious to religious divides or economic differences and makes no distinction for age or race.

Discovering how our great grandparents spent long hours together at one of the local mills, or that our neighbors from years past were classmates to our relatives, puts everything else into a perspective just out of focus.

In the Lawrence County Museum here in Ironton, you will find photo albums of people like Nannie Kelly Wright, who crossed the Atlantic a dozen times before being presented to the King, next to scrapbooks of people who were born, lived and died in Lawrence County without being noted for a brush with royalty. They take up the same space on the shelf.

I have spoken with people who share my family name, but despite extensive research, have no shared relatives. I’ve talked to people I’ll likely never meet face to face, to help them find one single grave in a

sea of identical stones a thousand miles from where they call home.

We’ve welcomed visitors to the Museum, who ranged from students working tirelessly for an A+, to state representatives, to regular visitors we’ve known for years.

For some, visits to the Museum are to gain information. For others it is to provide resources or artifacts. What binds all these people together is Lawrence County and the connection there that can be found in nothing else.

Perhaps spend some time asking older relatives or neighbors what the neighborhood used to look like, or what stores and restaurants they remember NICOLE COX from childhood. You may be surprised by what you discover or laugh at the stories that get retold differently, depending on the storyteller.

And, more than likely, you will be proud of the long line of people who moved around, married, worked and overcame obstacles that led up to the current time of you where you are today.
