Where Stories Still Live: the Giles House

By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress

The log cabin with the big pond at Spout Springs Road in Knifley welcomes visitors as the Janice Holt Giles Society enjoys its 2026 season. Located at 380 Spout Springs Road, the cabin will be open through September on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4pmCT continuing a long-standing tradition of sharing one of Adair County's most unique literary landmarks.

For Keysha Tucker, who serves as president of the Society and caretaker of the property, the upcoming season builds on a strong foundation of community support and steady interest. "Good. Very good," Tucker said of last year's season. "We have at least five or six hundred people every year. And the 2025 festival was very good."

From PC to AI - history on fast forward

First came personal computers. In the early 80s, those beige boxes crept into offices and spare bedrooms, turning typing pools and paper files into screens, and disks.

Then the Internet and the World Wide Web arrived in the 90s and quietly blew the walls off the library. Suddenly you could look up anything, email anyone, and fall down rabbit holes without leaving your chair.

Phillip Coffey - Unknown Soldiers

By Phillip Coffey

“There it was - a feather stuck right there in his hat for Patriots or Tories to see.
For everyone - how brazen ‘twas he marching to the beat of the Drums and Fifes-whatever that be.

Well, it looks very similar to macaroni but there was nobody around brave enough
To grab it off his hat and take a bite to see, danced like an Irishman fought like a Scot.

The moon - soon it may be for shipping

It may someday be cheaper to ship minerals from the moon to Earth than to ship goods from one city to another on Earth. The reason has everything to do with gravity -- or rather, the lack of it. Escaping Earth's gravity requires enormous energy. A rocket leaving the Earth's surface must reach a speed of about 25,000 miles per hour just to break free. The moon, which has only one-sixth of Earth's gravity, requires a fraction of that. Once a spacecraft is loaded on the lunar surface and aimed at Earth, the return trip is, by comparison, a gentle coast.

NASA has been building around this logic for years. The Artemis program, which aims to establish a permanent base at the moon's South Pole, is not just about exploration -- it is about access to resources.

Joyous 4th of July from the Genealogy & History Research Center

By Mike Watson

A list of Revolutionary War veterans who are known to have lived in Adair County. Some lived and died here; some lived here for a time and moved away; some moved here near the end of life. Several resided in Russell County once it was formed. Some lived very near the county lines and are claimed by more than one county, and rightly so.

First Lady announces launch of Domestic Violence Dashboard

From Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On July 2, 2026, to further protect against domestic violence, combat human trafficking and support survivors, First Lady Britainy Beshear announced that Team Kentucky has launched an interactive data dashboard for the public to more easily view data; compare statewide statistics by county and area development district; and gather specific information on offenders, domestic violence shelters and support services, as well as law enforcement-related outcomes. The dashboard includes data from each of Kentucky's annual domestic violence data reports.

"Every Kentuckian - and every person - should be safe from these heinous crimes and Team Kentucky is committed to making progress as we create a safer commonwealth for everyone," Mrs. Beshear said. "This new resource will help us better target services across Kentucky so every survivor knows they have the support needed to seek justice, rebuild their lives and move forward."

"No one should have to experience domestic violence, which is why my administration has worked to increase support for services and make sure our people are safe," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "By working with partners across the commonwealth, we're making sure survivors and their families have the support they need to move forward."

The interactive dashboard was built and will be maintained by the Criminal Justice Statistical Analysis Center, which has compiled the state's Domestic Violence Data Report since 2023 while managing grants to support law enforcement and victim services.

Resources for Cumberland and Metcalfe county flooding

From Hailey Martin
Kentucky House Majority Caucus

Frankfort, KY - As Kentuckians recover from the recent flooding, it is important to remember the resources available to those in crisis. Cumberland and Metcalfe County, represented by State Representative Amy Neighbors (R-Edmonton), both declared states of emergencies over the past weekend. 10 inches of rain fell in Cumberland County and over 7 inches of rain impacted Metcalfe County.

"In the aftermath of a natural disaster, I am especially grateful for programs and organizations dedicated to helping victims," said Neighbors. "I want to remind my fellow Kentuckians to stay safe and informed during flood recovery. It will take time, but our communities will be restored."

Applying for FEMA assistance is the first step if you were impacted by flooding; to do so, click here: www.disasterassistance.gov.

Kentuckians are also encouraged to complete the Disaster Needs Survey in order to help accurately recovery direct resources. It is important to stay up to date on local road conditions and other information through local news outlets. Avoid entering floodwaters and flooded structures, when possible, for your own safety and the safety of those around you. If your home, car, or property was damaged, contact your insurance providers and be sure to document damage for insurance claims.

Deer in the headlights

By Pen

I found myself driving on a particularly twisty stretch of a two-lane Kentucky highway on the last day of June, just after dusk had given way to complete and full darkness. Amy and I had seen numerous deer on the drive already, and the early summer humidity was beginning to manifest as a low mist across the road from time to time.

We've only had our current car since December, but I vaguely remembered that it came equipped with fog lights. I didn't want to try to turn them on while driving, because all the lights in the vehicle are controlled through a variety of touch screen inputs. So I suggested to Amy that as Navigator, maybe she should see if she could get them to come on.

She located the tiny button on the center screen that provides quick access to headlights, pushed it once, and the main headlights went suddenly dark, reducing us to just the dim illumination of the Daytime Running Lights. I said in a rush "back on back on back on!"

She pushed the screen again, saying frantically "I know-I'm trying-I'm trying!"

The next button push plunged us into complete and total darkness as we drove along the winding two-lane country road at 45ish miles per hour. I said "backonbackonbackon!" even faster as I tried to remember where I last saw the road and Amy frantically mashed everywhere on the touchscreen.

36 Young Kentuckians graduate from KSP Youth Academy

From Sherry Bray

Albany, KY - On Thursday, July 2, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that 36 young Kentuckians graduated from the third annual class of the Kentucky State Police Youth Academy. Among those graduating was first-year recruit Tyler Bragg of Columbia.

The weeklong program allowed the next generation of law enforcement to interact with state police troopers and officers while learning leadership skills, physical fitness requirements and law enforcement principles.

"Young people like those graduating today give me strong hope for our future," Gov. Beshear said. "I'm proud of these Kentuckians for their interest in public service and opportunities like this from the Kentucky State Police help build trust in and connection with our law enforcement."

Carol Perkins: A Sack of Potatoes

Previous Column: Junior goes to the Prom

By Carol Perkins

The internet can be a valuable tool. I watched a video on how to grow potatoes in a sack of garden soil. Sounds easy? I bought seed potatoes. A sack full, but I needed only four. We planted the rest in the ground, but something dug them up. Whatever it was toyed with them. We covered them again, and the varmint dug them up.

I cut four holes in the sack of garden soil and stuck the potatoes in the dirt. Then I watched. Within weeks, stems popped up through the sack and grew tall.

"How do you know when they're ready?" I asked Guy.

History & Genealogy are alive and well in Adair Co., Kentucky

By Mike Watson

The sun and rain helps make the grass--and weeds--grow. Dry soil becomes more productive with a bit of fertilizer and effort. Genealogy and local history research are no different. The hot dry days of early summer bring people out and about. The Adair County Genealogy & History Research Center had a busy month in June as evidenced from the statistics...which in themselves are dry numbers, but indicate a good amount of fertilization, so to speak.

The month of June brought 230 visiting researchers into the Center, 106 phone inquiries, and 251 email and facebook/social media history page requests. For the year-to-date: 1,003 researchers through the door, 443 phone inquiries, and 1,059 email and social media requests.

Not too shabby for a small town operation! Thanks to all those who trust us to keep history alive. We thrive on the opportunities and our supportive patrons.

And, the Genealogy & History community of groups--including the Research Center, Adair Genealogical Society, Adair Heritage Association, Lanterns & Tombstones, Mark Twain Storytelling Festival Committee, Tebbs Bend Association, and others--have been involved in more than 30 programs, presentations, and events in the first half of 2026. We expect slightly more in the second half of the year. Come join in the fun in the 250th year of Our National Independence!
