Downtown Columbia now more inviting to picnickers, lounging

Click on headline for photo album of the new benches, picnic tables

By Ellen Zornes

New benches have been placed around the Square in Downtown Columbia today, along with picnic tables and benches in the Picnic by the Fountain Area.

Today, there were four benches and three tables installed. Both picnic tables are by the fountain. There are two benches at the Adair Annex, and a third bench is is in the Southeast corner of the Square by the First & Farmers Bank and the lavender building, where replacing the now long gone orphan bench there. They are already getting heavy use, and have made a really big change in already welcoming look of the Square around the Historic Adair County Courthouse. The benches were made possible through a grant from Tour Southern and Eastern Kentucky to boost Columbia's image as a Trail Town USA community.
