Among the keepsakes inside Trabue Russell House
 2025-05-16 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The walls of the historic Trabue Russell House are covered with memorable moments like the time when Rock 'n Roll Star Jerry Lee Lewis performed in 1958 or 1959 at Adair County High Gymnasium to a capacity crowd. According to Joe Pyles, he, David Butler and Luther Ray Redmon went to the concert in Billy Todd Cundiff's 1957 Chevy and had front row seats. Everyone remembers vividly the piano keys on teacher Miss Frances Russell's piano flaming when Lewis performed his trademark song "Great Balls of Fire." Miss Russell later said the piano was never the same, but for all the students it was a time to remember, even 60+ years later.
The band stayed at Columbia's Dreamland Motel and Lewis played impromptu on the owners' piano. The owner's daughter, Brenda Collins Williams, remembers "being so surprised that my piano made such awesome music!" For information about tours inside the house, contact City Hall in Columbia, 270-384-2501.
