Discover Todd County 

and the opportunities within 

Welcome to Todd County, the land of opportunity. 

I am glad that you now have the opportunity to explore this wonderful and thriving county 

through the pages of the Todd County Factbook. 

Forty years ago, I married my wife and it was an easy decision for us to remain in Todd County. 

We raised our children in this county. After all, what better place to raise a child than in a community 

that cares so deeply for one another. 

I believe that it is this commitment to each 

other, hard work, and a love for God that has helped 

our county to be successful. 

Todd County’s opportunities are limitless, but 

opportunities alone will not make someone successful. 

They are not what has made this county successful. 

Hard work is. Working hard is what gets you far in life, 

and there is no shortage of hard workers in Todd 

County. Our challenge today is training Todd’s work 

force to take advantage of the many opportunities 

available in Todd County. 

Hemlock, the rather large industrial company 

being built at our southern border, has brought along 

with it many job opportunities and chances of success. 

The thing about success is that it starts around 

the dinner table at home, from the pulpit at church, 

and in the classroom at school. Being part of a family, 

a member of church, and participating in school opens 

the door to success, but you have to actively pursue 

each opportunity offered to you to make your life successful. 

Ihavefull confidence in the people of Todd 

County.Wehaveallbonded together to become something much larger than ourselves. We are a 

community that has met the many challenges that have come our way. It is going to take us all continuing 

to work together to be successful. 

But we can do it. 

I believe in Todd County, the land of opportunity.

A fact book around for when you need it 

This is my home. Todd 

County — and my hometown 

of Allegre — is the place I tell 

people when they ask where 

I’m from. 

Now, mind you, they 

sometimes say, “Where’s 

that?” and I give them the 

general directions we all have 

given from time to time when 

telling people where Todd 

County is located ... 

• Hour north of Nashville. 

• Near Ft. Campbell. 

• Garden of Eden. 

Still, often people ask me 

to tell them about Todd 

County, and being the smartin-heimer 

that I am, I tell 

them there is no explaining 

Todd County, you have to 

see it for yourself. 

There are rolling hills that 

some mornings, when the 

sun is just right, that will take 

your breath as the light starts 

to beat through the fog.

There are the fields of 

wheat and corn that will 

make you think you stepped 

into one of those scenes they 

play on TV during the 4th of 

July celebrations while fireworks 

and “America, The 

Beautiful” boom in the background. 

There is the history: 

Robert Penn Warren and 

Jefferson Davis and don’t forget 

Donnie McGehee. 

(If you don’t know who 

Donnie was, then go down to 

Helen’s Place, look at the 

wall and stay for some pickin’ 

and dancing.) 

There is the way of life 

here that can only be felt and 

never explained. 

There are also the sacred 

spots those of us who grew 

up here — and even those 

who went away for a time — 

can sit and enjoy, some time 

on their porch or in a backyard 

swing, and take in the 

beauty, the pace of life and 

be just fine. 

Still, there seems to be 

more on the horizon for 

Todd County. With huge 

industrial opportunities both 

near and in this county, 

there is a chance that when I 

(or whoever) write this column 

for the next fact book, I 

might have to first mention 

the tremendous growth — 

especially in the southern 

part of Todd County. 

While all of that and more 

may happen in the years to 

come, right now Todd 

County is a peaceful place 

full of people who are kind

and good and know what it 

means to put in a hard day’s 

work. 

The purpose of this book 

is two-fold: It will be to sent 

to all postal customers in 

Todd County and it will also 

be given away to the cities 

and the county in hopes it 

helps lure people to this area 

and its different tourist draws 

like the old 

courthouse/museum, Robert 

Penn Warren birthplace and 

Jefferson Davis Historical 

Site. 

So sit back and enjoy this 

book, but also set it somewhere, 

and when you need 

information about Todd 

County, before you strain to 

find it on the Internet, be

and you will be surprised by 

just how much information 

we have assembled about the

TODD COUNTY LIFE 

A LOOK AT THE PLACES WE LIVE

TODD COUNTY: 

A COMMUNITY AT THE CROSSROADS 

BY CATHERINE DARNELL 

TODD COUNTY STANDARD 

It seems that somewhere in 

one of five conversations 

about Todd County, somebody 

mentions Mayberry. The 

highly-revered fictional town 

comes up so often that one 

expects to see Andy in the 

sheriff’s office, Gomer at the 

gas station and Aunt Bee at 

the grocery store in matching 

shoes and pocketbook fussing 

over the price of sugar. 

Some people would like 

for it to stay that way, some 

people would like for it to stay 

that way but please can I have 

a job, and some people want 

some of the status quo along 

with some change. Those 

people have frustration in 

their voices. 

“I would absolutely love to 

see industry come in and give 

jobs to the community,” says 

Elkton Mayor Nancy Camp. “I 

would like to see programs in 

the school system that would 

get young people trained and 

ready to go out in the world. I 

would like to see some good, 

nice housing and a technical 

school.” 

Training. Growth. Those 

words have been bandied 

about in endless meetings 

endless times. Although fiscal 

ourt generally deals with decision-making 

items at hand, 

County Judge-Executive Daryl 

Greenfield hears talk about 

training, growth and other 

subjects of concern in the 

many committee meetings he 

attends. 

“It’s definitely something 

I’m interested in, meeting 

with different groups about 

the business we have coming 

in, the shortage of workers, 

and drugs,” he said. 

Frankly, the industries in 

and around Todd County 

complain about the lack of 

training they see in prospective 

employees, that many 

people who do show up for 

work may not show up the 

next day. And some of them, 

if they do show up, may not 

be able to pass the drug test 

that they are given. Judge 

Greenfield, much like most 

city and county officials, is 

deeply concerned about these 

embarrassing realities. 

“I’m an old farm boy,” he 

said. “I was brought up to 

think that if everybody had the 

opportunity to work, they’d 

work. The work ethic is not as 

strong as I thought it was.” 

He mentions Hemlock 

across the state line and the 

job opportunities that are 

there. “But, as far as county 

earning, there have to be 

some jobs inside the county, 

where the county benefits. I’ve 

gone from talking at the breakfast 

table, to the pulpit and the 

community house. We’ve got 

to educate ourselves.” 

Those are not just words. 

People are trying. They’re 

really trying. 

Greenfield visited a county 

in Ohio, where a vocational/technical 

school is

Students take classes like 

welding, along with the regular 

high school curriculum. At 

night, adults can take advantage 

of the training. There is 

interest in doing this here. 

What about money? 

“You’ve got to start with 

ideas,” he said. “If you don’t 

have ideas and the want to, 

you will never find the 

money.” 

Like Judge Greenfield, 

people are trying, and are 

proud of what they have 

already accomplished.

some of them Michigan-based 

companies working for 

Hemlock, the giant semiconductor 

plant being erected just 

across the Tennessee state 

line. 

“I would like to pick up 

quality business and develop 

quality housing,” he echoed 

Mayor Camp’s voice. 

“My attitude: Be prepared.” 

Elkton recently received a 

grant to curb and gutter 

Streets Avenue, to help with 

water runoff. New to the town 

are a refurbished park, two 

new doctors’ offices, a charming 

soda shop, Refine Tile, 

plans to extend the sewer line 

north of town and a 

$500,000 renovation grant 

for the historic Green River 

Academy building. The town 

is taking small steps while 

waving a red flag saying, 

“We’re here! We’re ready.” 

Established in 1819, Todd 

County is a split personality, 

depending on where one 

lives. Its 367 square miles are 

divided between farms averaging 

261 acres, small communities 

and three incorporated 

cities:

City Hall, restaurants, a 

bank, a hair salon, a gym, law 

offices and other businesses 

fill the buildings surrounding 

the heart of Elkton at the public 

square. 

Kids park their bikes outside 

the newly opened L&R 

Soda Bar to grab an ice cream 

cone. 

Women circle the sidewalk 

together for early-morning or 

late-afternoon exercise. 

Men wake up early to grab 

breakfast while they sit and 

talk about the weather. 

People crowd restaurants 

on their lunch breaks, catching 

up with family and friends 

before heading back to work. 

And on sunny days you 

can hear a man spouting the 

gospel from the old courthouse 

lawn. 

It’s the epitome of small 

town living. 

“I think that Elkton still has 

that hometown feel to it,” said 

Mayor Nancy Camp. “When 

people come in we treat them 

as though they have always 

been here. We try not to 

make anybody feel like they’re 

a newcomer. We just try to 

accept them as they are.” 

Camp said she thinks having 

such a lively square is a vital 

part of the town, sitting almost 

in the center of Todd County 

and acting as the county seat. 

“We’re just hoping that 

we’ll never lose that, that the 

square will always be the center 

point of the city and I feel 

like it will be even though 

there’s going to be some 

urban sprawl,” said Camp. 

“We’re just trying to keep 

them here.” 

While many businesses call

SMALL TOWN LIVING AT ITS FINEST

lots and buildings away from 

the square home, those 

housed in the town’s center 

consider themselves lucky. 

Vickie Latham, who 

opened Latham’s Fabrics & 

More 11 years ago, knew if 

she wanted a successful business 

she would need a location 

on the square. After purchasing 

a building on the 

southwest corner of the 

square, Latham spent three 

months cleaning and renovating 

the shop. 

“I always stayed home with 

my kids,” said Latham. “After 

they started going to school I 

decided I wanted to open a 

fabric shop. I knew I’d come 

nearer doing Elkton business 

on the square because it hurts 

you a little bit if you’re off of 

the square.” 

Robyn Poynter has been 

serving food on the square for 

nearly nine years at Town 

Grille and now The Pizza 

Place. She said the location 

brings a lunch crowd of people 

who work on or near the 

square. 

“We’re from here,” said 

Poynter. “It’s our home. We 

get a lot from the schools and 

churches. The county and the 

city have always supported us.” 

After working with their 

husbands in the funeral business, 

Sharon Shemwell and 

her business partner, who 

died five years ago, decided to 

open a gift shop on the Elkton 

Square nearly 20 years ago.

GUTHRIE 

RICH PAST; LOOKING TOWARD FUTURE 



Guthrie has always been 

home to many routes to get 

travelers from one side of 

town to the other, but since 

its beginning, it has never 

been a place you could just 

pass through. 

Founded in 1879 and 

named for John James 

Guthrie, former president of 

the L&N Railroad, the grid 

of tracks was busy until the 

wane of railroad, with many 

lines going north-south and 

east-west, along with highways 

79 and 41. 

In his book, “And I’ll 

Throw in the Socks, The 

Memoirs of a Kentucky 

Store Keeper,” William M. 

Jenkins Jr. shares the memories 

of his father who ran a 

dry-goods store there for 

many years. Jenkins Sr. 

recounts the days in the first 

part of the 20th Century 

when Guthrie was known as 

“Little Chicago,” a time 

when railroad employees, 

salesmen and, occasionally, 

some shady characters who 

might also be a railman or 

salesman, frequented the 

lively town. There was a lot 

for preachers to talk about in 

their Sunday morning sermons. 

Before anyone ever heard 

of a big box store, the town 

was the Saturday evening 

destination for city and country 

folks to do some shopping 

and have fun. 

“This was my stomping 

grounds from 1948 to the 

early 50s,” said Margie 

Miller of Adams, Tenn., who 

is a regular diner at the 

Senior Citizens lunches on 

the second and fourth 

L&N Railroad Museum pays tribute to Guthrie’s railroad town heritage. 

Fridays of the month. “Five 

of us girls liked to come here 

and dance and go to the 

movies.” 

Today, liquor is gone (but 

talk is it will soon be resurrected), 

the movie house 

long closed, many of the 

storefronts abandoned or 

demolished, but there is still 

life in the old girl yet. (The 

old hand-painted sign on the 

side of one of the brick 

buildings says so: “Coca 

Cola 5 Cents Relieves 

Fatigue.”) 

Much of that life is at 

Guthrie Hardware Store, 

known as Boogie’s Place, 

where locals and natives 

gather at various times to 

talk about politics, the 

weather, Kentucky basketball 

and what’s going on in 

Guthrie, says proprietor 

Boogie Oliver. 

“We sell people hardware,” 

he said with a mischievous 

smile. “We put up 

hardware.” But mostly they 

talk, he says. The place 

opens about 7, after Boogie 

has sat on an outside bench 

and waved at everybody that 

needs waving to, which is 

everybody. Then begins the 

morning loafing session, 

which adjourns about 9, he 

says. The afternoon session 

(often, the same people) 

meanders in about 2 and 

they leave at 3, give or take. 

Regulars include Bobby Paul 

Covington, Howard Reid 

Dorris, E.L. Warren, Bobby 

Dean Bagby, Kay Bagby 

(also known as Miss Lassie), 

Eddie Allison, Billy Cook 

Webb, Shelton Meriwether, 

Mayor Scott Marshall when 

he has any time off from his 

two jobs, and Elaine and Bill 

Longhurst, who own 

Longhurst’s Grocery across 

the street, another Guthrie 

institution. Bill Longhurst 

goes back to his store if he 

sees a customer coming and 

is there at lunch to serve his 

famous bologna sandwiches 

done the right way—slice of 

bologna, white bread and 

mustard. 

“It’s like Mayberry,” said

Once approved, bids will go out

TRENTON 

SOON TO BE A BUSTLING ARTS TOWN 



New business owners in 

Trenton have a dream. 

Where most people see 

vacant store fronts and little to 

do, these newcomers see 

potential for a bustling arts 

community in this quiet little 

Todd County town. 

“That’s what we have in 

mind,” said Ken Shipley, who 

with his wife Melody is leasing 

the old Davenport Grocery 

with plans to transform it into 

Trenton Claywork/Shipley 

Pottery LLC. 

“We’re all kind of working 

together, to do advertising 

together, to make people 

interested in seeing what we 

are up to.” 

The “we” Shipley speaks 

of is Quilt and Sew down the 

block and Trenton Market 

across the street, both of 

which have opened in the last 

year. 

Denise Shivers, owner of 

Quilt and Sew and Golden 

Threads, a business that 

makes custom home furnishings 

and dance costumes that 

has been around since 1997. 

Shivers has roots in Trenton 

— she has fond memories of 

visiting her grandparents here 

and getting Moon Pies and 

RCs from Davenport’s 

Grocery — so it was not a difficult 

decision when her dad, 

part owner of Trent Real 

Estate, talked her into moving 

to Trenton to open businesses 

and save charming old buildings 

from dilapidation. 

“I decided this was the perfect 

thing to do in Trenton,” 

she said as she sat in a room 

of bolts of colorful fabric. “I 

love the people and I’m trying 

to save a piece of Trenton. It’s 

Above: Trenton’s Main Street is small-town charming. 

Below: A statue at the entrance of the park in Trenton. 

like driving to Mayberry every 

day. I am tickled to have 

saved a piece of history.” 

In addition to quilting supplies, 

the shop carries materials 

for crafts like pillows 

and potholders. Shivers 

offers all kinds of classes for 

children and adults. There 

are 1,500 people on her 

mailing list to give you an 

idea of the popularity of 

quilting and the draw to her 

store. 

The Shipleys will teach 

classes, something they have 

done at Austin Peay for years. 

The business will be a combination 

gallery/teaching 

area/personal workshop. 

The Shipleys learned 

about Trenton from Shivers, 

who took pottery classes 

from them. 

“When we got distributorships 

for clay supplies, the 

first place we thought of was 

Trenton,” Ken Shipley said. 

“We like it up here. It’s quiet 

and we can get a lot of work 

done. Hopefully we will bring 

some people back to the 

area. 

“We want to be where we 

can be useful citizens and 

help generate folks coming 

through here.” 

The eventual dream is for 

monthly art walks like the 

ones in Clarksville and 

Nashville, he said, for people 

to see what’s happening in 

Trenton and “go across the 

street to Yvonne’s seriously 

good food.” 

That Yvonne would be

Hendrix, winners of the 

gumball contest. The store 

has a few groceries, but is 

mostly about the lunch and 

dinners they prepare, not 

your run-of-the-mill Todd 

County menu with fare like 

baked ham with raisin sauce, 

Italian tomato salad, bratwurst 

and sauerkraut, pork teriyaki. 

Some days she will serve 

more than 100 meals. 

Hope has been cooking all 

her life, from cooking for her 

family and hired help on the 

large family farm, to restaurant 

work and training, personal 

cheffing. “I try to use 

the freshest possible ingredients,” 

she said, taking a break 

from a long morning of cooking. 

A little later, the “community 

table,” as she calls the 

one long banquet table in the 

restaurant, will see all kinds of 

characters and farmers and 

farmers who are characters, 

with names like Donnie, 

Chuck and Bubba. 

Hope, from Ashland City, 

Tenn., had been looking to 

open a restaurant in the area 

when she saw an ad for the 

place. 

“The week before I’d never 

heard of Trenton,” she said. “I 

love the area. It reminds me 

so much of the place where I 

grew up.” 

“We’re all kind of working 

together, to do advertising together, 

to make people interested in 

seeing what we are up to.” 

The Trenton water tower stands tall in the heart of town, one 

of the familiar sights in Todd County’s smallest incorporated 

cities.

FAIRVIEW 

A HISTORIC PARK AND A FIGHT TO KEEP ITS IDENTITY 



Just off of Highway 68-80, running 

along Jefferson Davis Highway and nestled 

closely against the Christian County 

line sits the small community of Fairview. 

A community with substantial Amish 

and Mennonite populations, it is common 

to see horse-drawn carriages and 

bicycles traveling the roads or men working 

with horses and mules to plow fields. 

Most noticeable though, is the 351- 

foot obelisk reaching to the sky, commemorating 

the life of Jefferson Davis, 

the first and only president of the 

Confederacy. 

The monument, part of the Jefferson 

Davis State Historic Site rises next to the 

birthplace of Davis, now home to Bethel 

Baptist Church and can be seen several 

miles out of Fairview. 

The park is open daily from May 1 to 

Oct. 31 each year. During the rest of the 

year the monument is closed, but the 

museum and gift shop are open Fridays, 

Saturdays and Sundays. 

The obelisk draws many people — 

some passionate about Civil War and 

Confederate history, others curious as to 

why such a site exists. 

“A present day Army captain at Fort 

Campbell came through here in the winter 

months on a Saturday,” said Ron 

Sydnor, who has been the director of the 

site since May of 2010. “I walked out and 

he looked up and saw me and froze. He 

stared at me for 35 or 40 seconds and he 

said ‘You’re the last person I expected to 

see here.’ I started laughing.” 

Sydnor, who gets similar comments 

from other people, is African-American. 

Many people find it ironic that he 

operates a site about the South and its 

history. Sydnor often surprises people 

when he tells them he is the descendant 

of a Confederate soldier. And while it is 

a historic fact that thousands of black 

men served on the Confederate side during 

the Civil War, Sydnor surprises even 

more when he reveals his ancestor was a 

white soldier who married a black 

woman. 

The first and only president of the Confederacy was born in Fairview. 

Sydnor said people often believe the 

Civil War was based on slavery and he 

feels it is his duty to teach people a more 

in-depth history which shows the war was 

based more on economics in general. 

While the site hosts an annual 

Jefferson Davis Birthday Celebration, 

Sydnor is currently working on a fiveyear 

project commemorating the sesquicentennial– 

150th anniversary — of the 

Civil War. The event kicked off in June 

2010 with a three-day combined birthday 

and Civil War celebration. 

SeeNextPage 


Jeff Davis Days comes to Fairview the first weekend in June and features Civil War re-enactments. 


The event included two 

battle re-enactments, the Miss 

Confederacy pageant, time 

period music, a re-enactors 

ball and historical impersonators. 

People came from all 

over the region with many 

wearing time-appropriate 

clothing. 

Most recent news in 

Fairview is that of the possible 

closing of its post office. 

Nearly 80 people gathered at 

Bethel Baptist Church in late 

June to hear a postal service 

representative speak and 

voice their own opinions. 

For a town like Fairview 

with a few businesses and the 

historic site, its citizens feel 

the post office is important to 

the liveliness of the community. 

“I think it would be a great 

loss to the community here,” 

said Margaret Taylor, Fairview 

resident and Fairview P.O. 

Box user, during the meeting. 

“This is a historic community 

and the post office is the center 

of things. That’s our identity. 

We have a zip code.” 

The postal service representative 

said because of the 

historic importance of 

Fairview, several options 

would be explored that are 

looked at in communities of 

similar size. Closing small 

post offices is one of many 

ways the postal service, 

expected to go bankrupt in 

October 2011, is looking to 

cut expenses. 

The postal service planned 

to complete the survey of the 

post office by July 2011. If 

the decision were made to 

close the operation, it would 

happen by the end of the 

year.

ALLEGRE 

ALL AGREE IT IS A SWELL PLACE 

BY MEGAN SISCO 


There’s a town situated in 

northern Todd County that 

takes its name from an 

agreement long settled. An 

agreement to all agree on a 

name. And “All-Agree” 

stuck. 

The residents of this 

small burg still agree on one 

thing. “I Love Allegre! The 

happiest place on Earth!” 

The people of Allegre are 

happy in their small community. 

They work together to 

make things happen, such 

as the fundraiser for the 

Allegre Fire Department. By 

coming together as a community, 

they manage to 

accomplish more than many 

larger towns could. 

The secret? The people 

of Allegre love one another 

sincerely. When deaths 

occur, the small community 

bands together. When a 

baby is born, the town celebrates. 

When local legends, 

like the great Donnie 

McGegee pass on, the community 

mourns and places a 

plaque in memory of him 

because that’s what a hometown 

does. 

The small community, 

located between Elkton and 

Kirkmansville, has a draw to 

it that simply can’t be 

explained. Jessica Gant, a 

former local, regrets her 

move away from the place 

that she grew up: “I’m moving 

back. There’s no place 

like Allegre. It’s home.” 

A major part of this home 

is the little small-town shop 

that serves it. Welcome to 

Above: Pam’s Quick Stop is the Allegre gathering place. 

Below: A tobacco barn is another familiar sight around Allegre. 

Pam’s Quick Stop. The 

small grocery lies in the 

heart of the town. Your onestop 

shop for all the little 

things you forgot while 

shopping in the larger 

towns. Bread, milk, an irresistible 

mouthwatering BBQ 

ham sandwich, and an ever 

important substance known 

as gas. 

Of course there’s also the 

pull to stay a while in the 

classically decorated shop 

with Coca-Cola bottles and 

red checkered tableclothes, 

just to hear the local men 

gossip, I mean share stories, 

about what’s going on in 

their lives. 

J.C. Monroe, the owner 

of Pam’s, has heard so many 

tales in his lifetime that he 

seems to know everything to 

do with anything involving 

Allegre. “People talk in 

here. Mostly because people 

here listen.” 

Indeed, Allegre citizens 

listen to one another, they 

keep up with one another. 

The joys of this hometown 

include the gossip that 

comes along with knowing 

the family history to everyone 

on your street. 

Maybe that explains the 

mysterious draw that the 

locals have for Allegre. They 

were born there. 

There is something about 

Allegre that once there, the 

place implants itself in your 

heart. Nestled in the heart of 

phenomenal countryside, 

this old-fashioned town has 

survived because the people 

who live there love it far too 

much to let it drift into oblivion. 


A FEW WORDS ON PILOT ROCK ... 

Go Ahead — climb the rock with your sweetheart if 

you dare. You may end up getting hitched, or you may 

end up getting ditched. Depending on where you want 

the relationship to go, you could use this local legend 

about Pilot Rock to your advantage if you’re in love (or 

decidedly not). 

Long a favorite trek for JROTC students, adventurous 

spirits or just folks with an extra few hours on the 

weekends, Pilot Rock is a 200-ft. nearly perpendicular 

configuration ... or, yes, a big rock. 

It is also, by far, the highest point in Western 

Kentucky. 

Todd County claims three-fourths of it; Christian 

County gets the rest and once used its lookout tower to 

spot fires. 

Situated between Hopkinsville and Allegre, Pilot 

Rock, or so the story goes, was sacred to the Cherokee, 

who used it as a signal mound. 

In fact, along with the ubiquitous “[insert teenagers’ 

names here] wuz here” graffiti, there are supposedly 

Native American inscriptions on the rock, along with 

smoke holes used for signaling. When a group of 

Cherokee, for instance, was nearly massacred entirely 

while hunting near the eastern slope of Pilot Rock, it 

sent signals to warn its village, preventing further attack. 

Today, of course, legend says you could prevent further 

attack by just avoiding climbing the rock with a significant 

other you’re ambivalent about.

SHARON GROVE 

IT’S THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE PLACE 



It’s about five miles from 

nowhere and not far enough. 

It is that rural seclusion of 

Sharon Grove in the east part 

of Todd County that has kept 

Doug Heltsley around for 60 

years. 

In his time he’s seen the 

feed mill, the post office and 

the school shut its doors and 

stores coming and going. 

“It’s like everything else,” 

said Heltsley. “It’s going 

downhill, but it’s still here.” 

Larry Shemwell, who has 

called Sharon Grove home for 

55 years, recognizes those 

changes, but finds another to 

be just as evident. 

“The biggest change has 

been the people,” said 

Shemwell. “People have 

moved from all over the country 

to Todd County, Kentucky. 

I’ve lived here my whole life 

and there are a lot of them I 

don’t know who live right 

around me.” 

Heltsley, who used to farm 

himself, said agriculture is the 

lifeblood of the north Todd 

community. Farmers raising 

corn, beans, wheat, tobacco 

and cows fill the roads with 

pick-up trucks and farm 

machinery. 

“It’s not a major metropolis 

by any means,” said 

Shemwell. “It’s been a farming 

community as long as I 

can remember.” 

Other traffic is made up of 

those commuting to and from 

their factory jobs and those 

who have found themselves 

off the beaten path. 

As the future of economic 

and population 

Hwy. 106 Market is the place to be in Sharon Grove. 

The Sharon Grove Park is a good place for family fun. 

growth is ambiguous, 

Shemwell said he hopes for 

one thing in a community 

where faith is an essential 

part of life. 

“The only thing I hope 

does happen is our churches 

grow,” said Shemwell. 

“There are several churches 

around here. I hope they 

grow and people get right.” 

Sharon Grove’s hot spot 

is that of the Highway 106 

Market with a gas pump 

outside and several shelves of 

snacks and necessities inside. 

It’s there where a passer-by 

can see the character of the 

small community. 

It has become the sitting 

place with the closing of the 

other businesses in town. Men 

filter in and out for breakfast 

and lunch, gathering around 

the two tables to talk weather, 

sports and anything else that 

comes to mind. 

“This table right here is 

known as the table of knowledge,” 

said Heltsley, patting 

its wooden surface with a 

laugh. “If you want to know it, 

you’ll hear it. If you don’t hear 

the straight of it, you’ll hear a 

lie about it.” 

For Heltsley, the people 

make the place. 

“It’s the heart of the community,” 

he said. “It’s just nice 

people around.” 




CLIFTY 

NORTHERN TOWN HAS CHARM, GOOD PEOPLE 

With most of Todd 

County’s industries and businesses 

located in the southern 

part of the county, Clifty, a 

small community northeast of 

Elkton, doesn’t have as much 

going on. But residents are 

grateful for what it does have. 

The breaking news in the 

town? An ATM coming to the 

United Southern Bank 

branch. 

Boasting the only Todd 

County post office north of 

Highway 68-80, Clifty is 

home to Clifty Café and 

Patty’s Place, not to be confused 

with Patti’s 1880s 

Settlement, as it often is. 

“We tell them, ‘Honey, 

you don’t need a reservation 

here,’” said Patty Mansfield, 

owner of Patty’s Place for 

eight years, who receives 

many calls for the Grand 

Rivers restaurant. “We got a 

call for a bridal party once, so 

we said, ‘I don’t mind you 

coming, but we’re just a little 

(gas) station with subs and 

sandwiches.’” 

With the nearest grocery 

store 20 miles away, Patty’s 

Place works to keep the 

necessities in stock. 

“We try to keep whatever 

they ask for, if they’re our regulars, 

we try to keep it for 

them,” said Tracy Enlow, who 

works at the gas station-convenience 

store combo. “It is 

20 miles to get a loaf of bread 

if we don’t have one.” 

For both of those locally 

owned family businesses, 

there is joy for the owners in 

serving their loyal customers. 

That’s why Kent and Susan 

Griffin bought and reopened 

Clifty Park is the former site of the Clifty Elementary School. 

Clifty Café on Jan. 15, 2011. 

“The community needed 

something, somewhere to 

eat, a place for the men to do 

all of their sitting, talking and 

chatting,” said Susan Griffin, 

who believes the restaurant 

has filled that void. 

Serving a buffet from 

5:30 to 7 on Friday nights, 

Griffin said many families stop 

by to eat, though most of her 

business comes from her early 

morning patrons. 

Opening at 6 a.m. Monday 

through Saturday, the restaurant 

quickly fills with the smell 

of sausage and bacon and the 

chatter of men who sip their 

coffee while crowded around 

a long table at the front. 

“It’s a morning gossip 

group,” said Josh Griffin, one 

of the younger men at the 

table. “It’s like a news channel. 

You always know the 

weather. You always know 

what’s going on.” 

While conversation shifts 

from the weather to community 

happenings to politics, 

Griffin said the most important 

thing is knowing that 

those men along with the rest 

of Clifty’s residents will do 

anything to help each other 

out. 

“It’s a small town. If anybody 

needs anything, anybody 

will help you out. Ninety 

percent of the people, if you 

needed a vehicle, would tell 

you to go on and take it 

because the keys are in it,” he 

joked, though his words carry 

truth of the trustworthiness of 

the people who live there. 

It is those people who 

brought Gene Douthit and his 

wife from Georgia to the 

small community in 

September of 2005. Deciding 

it was time to retire, he and 

his wife sold their business 

and farm and took root in 

Clifty. 

“A friend of mine lives in 

Paducah so we started looking 

around here,” said Douthit. 

“The people are so nice.” 

Douthit is one of the many 

men you can find around the 

Clifty Café table at breakfast 

and again for a bite at lunch 

before it closes at 1 p.m. 

“My wife quit cooking 

since we moved up here,” 

said Douthit with a laugh. 

“She retired, too.” Harold 

Ray Rager, an Allegre boy 

who married a Clifty girl, has

lived in the community since 

he and his wife wed 53 years 

ago. He said the face of the 

community has changed a 

great deal as younger families 

have moved out and people 

from eastern Kentucky and 

retired couples have moved in. 

“The makeup of the little 

community is a lot of the locals 

moved away when they were 

young and the older ones 

died,” Rager said. “More of 

our people are beginning to 

get age, too. The personality 

has changed completely, but 

there’s still enough of the original 

Clifty blood. We have 

grown a lot from our own. 

We’ve grown from people 

moving in.” 

Rager said he’s not sure 

why people choose to move 

there, but said some could be 

attributed to the fact that housing 

is cheaper, Kentucky taxes 

are lower and the people are 

good to be around. 

He said he wishes the community 

had more economic

success and has hope the 

Hemlock plant will help. 

“We’re not incorporated; 

we’re a village,” Rager said. 

“We’re not (an official) town 

and that hinders us some from 

getting grants and different 

things that might bring in a little 

industry right in town.” 

Rager said while the economy 

may not be at its best, the 

people make Clifty home. He 

specifically commended the 

volunteer fire department, 

which converted the lot where 

the school used to be into a 

community park with covered 

picnic tables and a playground.

you’ll miss it, but you’ll remember the name of 

Tyewhoppety. 

The small community nestled along Highway 181 

between Clifty and Lewisburg is straddled by two 

churches: Trinity Baptist on the south and New 

Harmony on the north. Tyewhoppety is home to a few 

houses and a hand-painted sign. 

The sign is the town’s identity. 

If it wasn’t there, one would not know they’ve 

entered a place with a name. The sign welcomes visitors 

to the community, boasts a population of 33 people 

and asks God to bless America. 

What Tyewhoppety may lack in population and 

size, it makes up for in name. 

While the name’s origin is unknown, an article written 

by August C. Mahr titled “Shawnee Names and 

Migrations in Kentucky and West Virginia” suggests 

the town may be an alteration of the Shawnee word 

“Tywhapita.” 

True or not, Tyewhoppety is among some of the 

most unique town names in Kentucky, competing with 

the likes of Black Gnat, Cutshin, Monkey’s Eyebrow 

and Thousandsticks.

ALLENSVILLE 

HISTORIC TOWN WITH LOTS OF CHARM 



Allensville actually has two 

locations. The first is the town 

on Highway 102, just southeast 

of Highway 79 on one 

end and kissing the Logan 

County border on the other. 

The second is in the heart of 

Doug Penick, an 83-year-old 

native who owns most of the 

town’s empty storefronts and 

many pieces of Allensville 

memorabilia that are in his 

home. 

Clearly, farmer Penick 

treasures Allensville and its 

history. He owns bulging 

scrapbooks of bits of paper — 

recital programs, advertisements, 

photos of everything 

from buildings to baseball 

teams, ration cards, postcards. 

Each yellowed page is 

dear to Penick, who is sort of 

the unofficial historian of 

Allensville. 

At one point, his father, 

mother, brother Bill and he, 

as regular carriers and substitutes, 

delivered mail out of 

Allensville for a span of 92 

years. (Allensville boasts the 

first rural free delivery of mail 

in Kentucky in 1897.) In his 

house he displays an old Post 

Office oak window with a 

grille where one bought 

stamps and such. Penick 

added brass plaques honoring 

those people who worked 

there in 1945: Annie R. 

Young was postmistress; and 

his dad, Frazier Penick, was 

one of the carriers. 

He has hanging on the 

wall of the Penick parlor — 

once a log cabin — an old 

bank clock and several paintings 

of old downtown 

Allensville, copied from photographs 

he owns. He and 

his wife Nona also framed

Penick. 

charming promotional calendars 

from the early 20s. 

When Penick was in grade 

school, classes sold candy and 

as a reward were given festive 

wooden shields with American 

flags and photos of historical 

figures that could be interchanged, 

depending on what 

the class was studying at the 

time. He found one in the 

basement of the old school 

when it was being auctioned 

off and was allowed to keep it. 

Naturally, he and his wife display 

that too. 

Originally Allensville was 

built on Highway 79, but the 

town was moved in the 1860s 

to its present location due to 

the railroad line that was built 

there. Penick remembers 

many of those buildings, for 

example, Adams Block, the 

biggest building in town constructed 

shortly after the move 

and eventually demolished in 

1979 due to a fire. During 

reconstruction after the Civil 

War, many people from the 

winning side moved to the 

area, building homes and businesses. 

One such charming 

residence, Pepper Place, now 

belongs to Mary and Malcolm 

Rust. Across the street stands 

another outstanding piece of 

architecture, a large home 

built in the Italianate style now 

belonging to Suzanne and 

Danny Dew. 

Prior to WWII, the town 

was “bustling,” he recalls, 

with at one time two doctors, 

three groceries, a hardware 

store, two livery stables, a 

flour mill, a clothing store, an 

opera house, filling stations, a 

skating rink, two banks and a 

millinery shop. His wife Nona 

chuckles at a story she heard 

of that shop’s sales promotion. 

It was called a 

SeeNextPage 



“promenade,” when on a 

weekend women would stroll 

the streets, modeling the hats, 

changing every so often, hitting 

the streets again. 

Penick guesses that the 

largest the population of 

Allensville has ever been is 

about 350, the number on the 

street sign Penick grew up with 

and now owns. After World 

War II the town started to 

decline, Doug Penick recalls. 

Few places are open for business 

these days—a convenience 

market, a city park, post 

office and some churches are 

about all that’s left. Vacant lots 

and storefronts mark where 

that bustling town once stood. 

Now Penick owns “all them 

old store buildings” where he 

houses an amazing collection 

of antiques behind windows 

papered to keep the contents 

safe. While he has enough 

treasures to open several 

museums, he has no plans for 

that. 

“I’d be the oldest thing 

there,” he says with a laugh. 

Serving the area for more than 50 years 

Old storefronts serve as reminders of Allensville’s past. 

His collections spill to several 

sheds and barns at his 

farm, just a few miles away 

from town. There a visitor 

would see 20 antique tractors, 

eight or 10 vintage cars, such 

as Studebaker, Hudson and 

Packard, scores of dinner bells, 

things that could be anybody’s 

guess and “every kind of old 

farming implement that was 

made, just about,” he says. 

There is even a kitchen sink. 

All his life he has scoured 

newspaper advertisements, 

flea markets and auctions to 

find items to add to his collections. 

“I just walk upon it,” he 

says. “I might near look all the 

time.”

KIRKMANSVILLE 

COME ON DOWN FOR FOOD, FUN AND DANCING 

BY MEGAN SISCO 


Kirkmansville was a once 

thriving city. The city, founded 

in 1882, was named after 

Peter Kirkman, a co-founder 

of the city. It was an active 

place and home to four 

churches, several doctors, a 

hotel, a bank, a post office, a 

funeral home, a jail, four general 

stores and a school. It was 

larger than modern day 

Elkton by far. 

This thriving community 

did well until a series of fires 

destroyed the promising burg. 

In 1944, the first fire swept 

through, taking with it the 

bank, post office, and a residence. 

The town attempted to 

rebuild, but every rebuild was 

brought down by more 

flames. 

Out of the ashes a new 

generation is born. Maybe it 

came many years later, but 

Kirkmansville is finally recieving 

attention again. The new 

dance hall, tentatively named 

JRs Place, located across the 

street from Helen’s Place, is 

drawing crowds in from the 

surrounding areas offering 

both adults and children a fun 

place to relax and have fun on 

a lazy Tuesday afternoon and 

a great way to kick off a weekend 

on Friday nights. 

JRs Place offfers local 

music talents such as the 

Benny Pryor Band and Rocky 

and the Pond River Boys. As 

well as offering a place for 

people to sing karaoke. The 

talents keep the dance floor 

jumping all night long with 

dances such as the twist, line 

dances, the electric slide and 

the waterfall- a dance 

designed to allow people to 

make acquantainces swiftly 

Helen’s Place hosts a popular weekly dance. 

“I come to have fun and dance, 

And to eat.” 

and easily. 

Helen’s Place was where 

the bluegrass music was generally 

played, in a room that 

the Jones’ had built on the 

store specifically for that reason, 

neither of them were 

expecting the crowds that 

would show up for the show. 

“We had to expand the store 

[further]. On Fridays, when 

the music was playing, it was 

so crowded in here that no 

one could move,” says Helen 

of the recent acquisition of the 

building across the street. The 

overcrowded dining area of 

Helen’s was an almost desperate 

situation, so when the 

building went up for sale they 

bought it. 

The brightly lit dance hall 

presents a place for people to 

go to just have fun. “I come 

for the fun, the excerise, and I 

get to meet new people,” Flo 

Powell of Kirkmansville 

explains when asked about 

what draws her to the dance 

floor. “I come to have fun and 

dance,” stated Calvin 

Shemwell of Sharon Grove, 

“And to eat.” 

Indeed, when asked why 

people flock to Helen’s Place 

of Kirkmansville, the first 

answer would be the food. 

Helens tantalizing menu that 

features mouthwatering burgers, 

teasing cakes, and an 

ever-changing line-up of food 

draws many a person to the 

small town of Kirkmansville. 

The second answer would 

be the atmosphere. In both 

Helen’s Place and 

Kirmansville alike there is a 

true sense of friendship. It’s 

that 1950s hometown feel. 

Merely meandering down 

the streets of Kirmansville 

will afford you a smile, a 

wave, and a happy, genuine 

greeting. The people 

here care about one another. 

It is a community in 

which children roam 

because the entire neighborhood 

looks out for 

them. 

Helen’s Place is no different. 

When stepping into 

the store, people call out 

greetings from across the 

floor. Everyone is welcome 

here. Everyone is wanted.

SMALL COMMUNITIES 

HADENSVILLE 

We know Hadensville exists if 

for no other reason than there 

is a sign to prove it. Today this 

tiny southeast Todd farming 

area is home to several houses, 

some large farms and, like 

many Todd County communities, 

a railroad crossing. 

Once the area was said to 

have been located where 

“Guthrie, Clarksville, 

Russellville, Hopkinsville, 

Trenton, Keysburg and Adams 

roads crossed...” In 1821 Joseph 

Haden was granted a license to 

operate a tavern in his home in 

Hadensville; in 1850 a school 

opened briefly. The Memphis 

branch of the Louisville & 

Nashville Railroad was routed 

through Hadensville on a plantation 

owned by two of the 

wealthiest and most influential 

families in the area, the Wares 

and Gradys. They were the 

largest tobacco growers in the 

vicinity and among the first to 

join the Dark Tobacco Growers 

Association. 

Sometime around 1950 

most of the property between 

the railroad and north to the 

creek at Reeves Hill was owned 

by M.B. Nickell of Centerville, 

Tenn., who divided his hundreds 

of acres among four of 

his daughters and their husbands: 

Christine and Bill 

McClannahan, Anne and Jesse 

Reeves, Mary and Al Rochelle 

and Martha and E.L. Warren. 

Much of that land is still owned 

by their heirs. 

Old-timers familiar with the 

area remember Belcher’s 

Grocery Store next to the railroad. 

Torn down many years 

ago, memories of the rustic 

one-room store bring back 

fond remembrances of penny 

The Tack Store in Penchem is the perfect place to outfit both you and your horse. 

candy and bottles of Coca-Cola 

on ice. 

Hadensville is considered 

part of the Guthrie district. 

WILHELMINA 

This little area didn’t always 

have such a fanciful name. The 

community formerly known as 

Collier Springs, Wilhelmina is 

directly off Highland Lick, 

slightly northwest of Elkton 

and, according to a 1923 deed, 

on the waters of Clifty Creek. 

In the Collier Springs Baptist 

Church history, it’s noted that 

citizens were “pleased the little 

community of Wilhelmina 

would have its very own woodframed 

church house.” 

People must have been 

pleased: this one-room church 

with outdoor restrooms was 

dedicated in 1914 and stayed in 

such a primitive state for 70 

years. 

MT. TABOR 

You can really say this community 

is built around its 

church. Mt. Tabor Missionary 

Baptist is the area’s most outstanding 

feature, with a wonderful 

view of the lovely hilly 

countryside. 

While its presence is a stalwart, 

Mt. Tabor Missionary did 

change venues; the old church 

was on Tuckertown Road while 

the new building is two miles 

north of Allegre on 

Kirkmansville Road. 

Originally called Powell 

Grove and built in 1857, Mt. 

Tabor School succumbed to 

consolidation when Allegre 

School opened, but until it did, 

according to local legend, a 

Mrs. I.D. Jones rode a horse to 

her teaching job every day 

from 1904-06. 

MT. SHARON 

The Mt. Sharon neighborhood, 

like Mt. Tabor, is associated 

with its eponymous 

Methodist church. 

The first Mt. Sharon was built 

out of logs in 1819—and was 

roughly the same style and 

shape as the newer structure, 

which was built in 1894. 

TABERNACLE 

Even the name sounds like a 

church—and Tabernacle 

Methodist features heavily in 

this Butler Road area. 

Three incarnations have 

existed in this spot: once a log 

building, the current church 

was built in 1878 and renovated 

in 1963. 

BRADSHAW 

A band of fed-up farmers 

made for Bradshaw’s juiciest tale. 

In the early 1900s, Todd 

tobacco growers were among 

the 5,000 who formed the Dark 

Tobacco Productive Association 

in opposition to price fixing by 

the American Tobacco Co. 

Their belief that farmers 

should set their own tobacco 

prices led to the infamous Black 

Patch Wars, and demonstrations 

SeeNextPage 

30 Todd County Standard DISCOVER TODD COUNTY


involving the destuction of 

tobacco, vigilantism and outright 

violence led to trouble in 

Todd. Men wearing black masks 

and white scarves who came to 

be known as the Night Riders 

boarded the coach at 

Bradshaw’s Switch the same 

night the tobacco factory in 

Elkton was blown up as collateral 

damage of the Black Patch 

Wars, an event that made the 

international news. 

WHIPPOORWILL 

It’s the name of a creek 

almost everyone has fished in, 

cooled off in or floated on at 

some point. A community 

about five miles northeast of 

Elkton, it is plentiful with 

wildlife; in The Early Settlement 

of Todd County: Sketches by 

Urban Ewing and Kennedy 

Family History, there’s a recount 

of wolves roaming the area in 

1827. 

PINCHEM (PENCHEM) 

Of course everyone knows the 

area for its well-stocked tack 

shop appropriately situated near 

Trenton horse country. People 

also say there used to be a 

bunch of bootleggers in town 

operating out of a dilapidated 

building, and to let them know 

you wanted some of their finest, 

you had to literally“Pinch‘em”— 

hence the name. 

Four Amish families settled 

there in 1958 from Virginia. 

Through word-of-mouth, they 

enticed others to follow, enriching 

Todd County with businesses 

such as bakeries, furniture stores, 

quilting and farm machinery 

shops. 

Pity the poor school bus riders 

through the years who yelled 

“Pinchem,”when they came 

upon the community. Everybody 

took leave to pinch the arms of 

people around them. At least it 

was that way in the ‘60s. Let’s 

hope that custom is long-forgotten. 

HERMAN 

Herman has witnessed miracles 

and near misses. 

Seven miles from Guthrie, 

the community was the site of 

another old-fashioned camp 

meeting. The first stirrings of 

revival began in 1873-74 at what 

was probably called the Parsons 

Camp Meeting. The Methodists 

were so inspired that the 

Herman Camp Meeting in 1907- 

08 covered five acres and lasted 

two weeks, with some families 

staying in shelters or tents so 

they wouldn’t have to make 

what was then an arduous trip 

home each night. 

As the railroad once made 

three trips daily and one on 

Sunday through the town, the 

near-miss miracle in Herman’s 

history is the Dec. 7, 1902 train 

derailment with not one injury. 

LIBERTY 

It’s really the south end of 

Allegre, but Liberty has seen 

more independent days. Settled 

primarily by members of Liberty 

Church, the community was 

served by Woodland School 

until the great consolidation 

that sent kids to Allegre proper. 

DAYSVILLE 

Todd County has had its share 

of famous folk, but Daysville 

illustrates the area’s modern 

brush with celebrity. Five miles 

east of Elkton, the town can 

boast promoting the early 

careers of artists such as Garth 

Brooks—possibly country 

music’s Poet Laureate for the 

1990s. Business began there as 

early as 1833 when a Mr. Day 

opened a store there. 

What drew such artists as 

Trisha Yearwood and Tracy 

Lawrence—who candidly credits 

his visits to Daysville as his big 

break—was Libby’s Steakhouse, 

a sort of Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge 

for Todd County, where biggername 

singers, as well as those 

just beginning to climb the 

rungs of fame, could take the 

mic. 

Owner and operator Libby 

Knight of Russellville ran 

Southern Beef and the steakhouse 

and promoted country 

music through the famous“Live 

at Libby’s”radio show beginning 

in 1984. Knight died in 2004, 

and while Libby’s is an empty 

building today, no one—least of 

all the singers whose careers got 

a boost there—will forget the 

music of those days in Daysville.

TODDʼS UNIQUE PLACES 



Southern Kentucky Flea 

Market: This weekend 

daytrip is well-known not 

just to Todd Countians, but 

to bargain-hunters from 

points beyond. Many out of 

town dealers have booths 

in this huge barn of a place, 

and frequent it quite often 

to look for steals to furnish 

their more pricey booths 

elsewhere. Shoppers looking 

for regular household 

items can find them there, 

as well as antiques and collectibles. 

Most of the booth 

dealers know how to price 

what is in books: Fire King, 

McCoy and so forth; however, 

they often under-price 

hand-made and one-of-akind 

pieces with original 

paint or hand-stitching, for 

example. Quirky collectors 

can have a field day there. 

It’s a great place to spend 

a chilly winter’s day or a hot 

summer afternoon without 

spending a lot of money. 

Located on the Dixie 

Beeline Highway between 

Tiny Town and the City of 

Guthrie, its hours are 10 

a.m.-5:30 p.m. Friday- 

Sunday. 

Bingo: Of course Guthrie 

didn’t invent bingo, but it 

seems to have more than 

its share of the game with 

two locations near the 

Tennessee state line to lure 

gamblers from that state 

and others. 

The Bingo Barn, operated 

by National Wheelcats, 

an organization that sponsors 

sports for the disabled, 

is located at 7009 

Life is sweet at Schlabach’s Bakery. 

Russellville Rd. (Highway 

79) just a few miles from 

the state line. Open on 

Saturdays at 6:45 p.m. and 

Sundays at 4:45, the place 

offers food from nearby 

Mike’s Barbecue. 

On a recent Saturday 

night, Karen Broadway 

drove 80 miles from 

Smyrna, Tenn., to play. She 

makes the drive “not as 

often as I’d like,” drawn to 

the Barn because 

Tennessee doesn’t have 

bingo and she likes the 

area. 

Tiny Town Bingo, located 

at the four-way stop in 

Tiny Town, is just a whisper 

away from the state line. 

That establishment is open 

Thursdays and Fridays at 5 

p.m., Saturdays at 4:15 and 

Sunday at 3, although one 

might find early arrivals 

anxious to play cards 

before the bingo games 

begin. 

The Mennonites influence 

the stretch between 

Tiny Town and Elkton. 

Highway 181 is ripe with 

the Mennonite farming 

presence and their knack 

for selling goods that 

attract out-of-towners. 

If one is coming from 

Tennessee, turn left on 181 

just past the state line, and 

a few miles down the road 

is the Country Pantry. 

Store shelves are stocked 

with new household items, 

bulk goods and repackaged 

bulk goods, the majority at 

affordable prices and, some 

things one doesn’t often 

see on traditional grocery 

store shelves. One of its 

biggest draws is good 

cheese and elk meat. Check 

outspicepricesthatare 

more than reasonable, 

along with homemade 

jams and jellies. Hours are 

Monday-Saturday 8:30 a.m.- 

5 p.m. 

Another stretch of 181 

brings people to a Todd 

County institution: 

Schlabach’s Bakery,which 

has been around since 

1970. It is widely known for 

its homemade breads, 

breakfast rolls, cakes, and 

pies, fried and regular. 

Saturday morning’s homemade 

doughnuts are worth 

the drive. 

Hours are 8-5 every day 

except Thursday and 

Sunday when it is closed. 

Food can be ordered ahead 

of time by calling (270) 265- 

3459. 

Farther down the road in 

the tiny community of 

Penchum, or Pinchem—it 

answers to both spellings— 

is the Penchum Tack Store, 

said to be a mecca for the 

horsey set. Open since 

1970, saddle shop owner 

Johnny Yoder says customers 

come from all over 

for the variety of saddles, 

horseshoes and such. Hours 

are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday- 

Saturday. 

Fairview Produce 

Auction: Ok, it’s officially 

SeeNextPage 



across the Christian County 

line, but a good golfer could 

hit a driver in Todd County, 

have it land smack dab in the 

middle of a box of tomatoes 

at this amazing display of 

plants (in the spring) and inseason 

produce. 

Local farmers bring their 

wares Mondays, Tuesdays, 

Thursdays and Fridays to sellin 

bulk to ambitious homepreservers 

and vendors who 

generally turn around and resell 

at farmer’s markets and 

roadside stands. Anyone with 

a bidding number obtained 

on site can buy. Best advice is 

to get there a little early (the 

auction begins at 10 a.m.) to 

get a number and scout the 

lots. The auction moves pretty 

quickly and is usually over 

by noon. 

The auction is located at 

10292 U.S. Highway 68 E., 

officially in Pembroke. 

One Todd County plant 

and produce stand that regularly 

sells goods from the 

Fairview Auction is Tiny 

Town Produce, open 8 a.m.-7 

p.m. spring-Halloween. That 

place sells in much more reasonable 

quantities and again, 

like a lot of the Tiny Town 

businesses, attracts people 

from across the state line. 

Robert Penn Warren 

Birthplace/Museum 

The favorite son of Guthrie, 

and, for that matter, one of 

the favorite sons of the 

Pulitzer Committee, was born 

in a brick home in Guthrie 

between Third and Cherry 

streets. A delightful museum 

well-maintained by the 


Committee, it houses Warren 

memorabilia and other 

pieces of Guthrie history. 

Warren was the country’s first 

poet-laureate and winner of 

the Pulitzer for both poetry 

(twice) and fiction. 

Hours are normally 11:30 

a.m.-3:30 p.m. Tuesday- 

Saturday and by appointment 

on Sunday. Call (270)- 

483-2683 for more information 

or to make an appointment. 

The RPW Committee also 

owns Guthrie Railroad 

Museum, which is home to a 

lot of L&N memorabilia. It is 

open by appointment only 

by calling the above number. 

Helen’s Place and J.R.’s 

Place: 

Those eating, music and 

dancing meccas are the cornerstones 

of Kirkmansville, 

owned and operated by two 

of the nicest people you’ll 

ever want to meet. Helen 

and J.R. Jones have been the 

proprietors of Helen’s for 

many years, with food and 

good music, but no place for 

dancing. This year, they 

opened J.R.’s Place across the 

street to add dancing to the 

Kirkmansville bill of fare. 

Helen’s is open from 6 a.m.- 

7:30 for food and—when the 

mood strikes local pickers— 

music. Mondays, Helen’s 

closes at 3, on Saturday at 2. 

Dancing across the street at 

J.R.’s happens at from 7-10 

p.m. on Tuesdays, with the 

Benny Pryor Band playing 

good, old-fashioned country 

music covers. Once a month 

on Saturdays, there is a potluck 

with dancing. For further 

information call (270) 269- 

7447.

The third largest obelisk in 

the nation was dedicated in 

1929 in Fairview, built by the 

United Daughters of the 

Confederacy as a memorial 

to the President of the 

Confederacy. Davis, who 

served in that office during 

the War Between the States, 

was born in a log cabin on 

the property in 1808. A lifesized 

monument is in a room 

at the base of the sculpture. 

Located at 258 

Pembroke/Fairview Road, it is 

open 9 a.m.-5 p.m., seven 

days a week between May 1- 

Oct.31. Call (270) 889-6100 

for more information about 

entry fees and to book tours. 

Pilot Rock 

The highest point in 

Western Kentucky at 200 feet, 

Pilot Rock, located between 

Allegre and Hopkinsville, is 

said to have been sacred to 

the Cherokee, likely used as a 

smoke-signaling site. In later 

years, the huge rock has traditionally 

attracted many 

sweethearts, some of whom 

felt compelled to leave their 

names behind. Today’s youth 

just might spot the initials of 

their grandparents and greatgrandparents. 

Yes, kids, we 

were all young once. 

Buzzard Ball Field (or 

Barn Yard, depends on who 

is telling the story) 

In the cliffs of Clifty, north 

of Elkton and south and east 

of Clifty, is an area that is 

notable if for no other reason 

than its name. Once a spot of 

hiking trails, Buzzard (whatever) 

is said to have some of 

the most beautiful vistas in 

the county. And yes, buzzards 

gather by hundreds for 

whatever reason these buzzards 

gather. Find it if you 

can.

and Todd County Schools to 

address the need for better 

healthcare in the county.

environmental program conducts 

yearly inspections of 

food establishments, schools,

Earlier research showed 

Todd County has fared poorly 

in terms of healthcare for its 

residents. The county trailed 

others in the state for its numbers 

of healthy residents and 

placed high on a list of counties 

needing help getting 

healthcare for their residents. 

About a third of Todd 

County’s residents are identified 

as obese, according to 

data provided by the 

Foundation for a Healthy 

Kentucky. Seventy percent 

are overweight, and a third 

are smokers. 

The American Cancer 

Society notes that the county 

has high rates of lung, breast, 

colorectal and prostate cancers 

and deaths attributable to 

lung, breast and colorectal 

cancers. 

The county is also a part of 

the Diabetes Belt, a geographic 

area defined as a portion 

of the Deep South and 

Appalachia where diabetes is 

common.

EDUCATION 

SCHOOLS TO MAKE CURRICULUM MORE CHALLENGING 



With a new principal at 

the high school, new 

Common Core Standards 

adopted by the state and the 

renovation of several facilities, 

the Todd County 

school system is embracing 

change. 

The TCCHS principal 

selection committee interviewed 

four candidates for 

principal in June, choosing 

to hire Todd Marshall. 

Marshall, who has experience 

as an athletic director, 

guidance counselor and 

high school assistant principal, 

left his most recent post 

as principal of Slaughters 

Elementary School in 

Webster County to take the 

position. 

Kenner said he feels 

Marshall was the strongest 

candidate, though the race 

was a close one. 

“He’s got a proven 

record and came highly recommended,” 

said Kenner. 

“We’re excited to have him 

on board.” 

The recently adopted 

curriculum is expected to 

create more of a challenge 

for students with the intentions 

of making expectations 

more clear, said Mike 

Kenner, superintendent. 

“Teachers have been 

very busy already doing 

some work on that, getting 

their units and plans 

tweaked to match up with 

those standards,” said 

Kenner. “I am hopeful that 

this will give us something 

we can dig into and grab 

hold of and increase the 

rigor for all of our students 

with the ultimate goal of all 

of our students being college 

and career ready. 

We’ve got to get them 

ready.” 

Also on the state level is 

the adoption of end-ofcourse 

assessments for the 

high school. 

Along with that, Todd 

County is one of five school 

districts in the state piloting 

the Board Exam System, 

which would be an addition 

to the end-of-course assessments 

and give students the 

chance to earn college 

credit. 

“We’re doing more 

things to make sure students 

meet certain guidelines to 

be career ready,” said 

Kenner. “Our students 

would have the opportunity, 

if they score well enough, to 

spend their last two years of 

high school doing college 

level work so conceivably if 

they do well enough they 

could come out after four 

years of high school having 

an associate’s degree.” 

While Kenner said he 

realizes that achievement 

would be difficult, he is 

excited about the possibility 

for students to work hard 

and reap that reward. 

Kenner is also in a continuous 

push to get a career 

technical center. Students 

currently use the center in 

Russellville and while 

Kenner is grateful for that 

“students are on the road an 

hour going back and forth 

rather than in classes.” 

“Until we can actually 

get one we’re just working 

with the high school to try 

to add areas to the vocational 

field as we can and 

hopefully, eventually this 

economy will turn around 

and we’ll keep lobbying the 

legislature to try to get the 

funding for a center here on 

our campus,” Kenner said. 

“If we’re wanting our students 

to be college- (and) 

career-ready, we need to 

provide them those opportunities.” 

Part of a years-long 

process to update facilities 

and plan for growth, the 

addition of wings to North 

and South Todd Elementary 

schools was completed in 

2011. 

“We ended up making 

them preschool wings 

because that just gave the 

preschool an area more 

suited to them,” said 

Kenner. “It’s also going to 

have room for family 

resource center that’s a lot 

more private.” 

The newly renovated 

Todd County Horizons 

Academy opened in the 

spring. 

For Kenner and all others 

serving in the Todd 

County School District, the 

mission is to provide opportunity 

for all students, making 

changes to ensure readiness 

and success.

INDUSTRY 

OUTLOOK FOR DEVELOPMENT IS POSITIVE 



A rural county with rolling hills of 

farmland dappled with houses and barns 

centered around the one-way square in 

Elkton — that’s the view many have on 

Todd County. But agriculture is not the 

only lifeblood of these surrounding communities. 

Several industries call Todd County 

home with many residents employed at 

such workplaces on this and that side of 

the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. 

While Elkton Mayor Nancy Camp said 

there are no industries currently looking 

to take root in Todd County soil, the city 

and Todd County Industrial Foundation is 

doing what it can to draw further industrial 

development. 

“If we can grow from within and 

expand outward somebody is going to 

see us and want to come here and they’ll 

certainly be welcome when they do,” said 

Camp. “The city will do everything we 

can to make it convenient for them and 

provide everything we can for them.” 

Camp said the city is annexing land 

on the outskirts of Elkton in hopes to 

develop housing and future factories. The 

city and Todd County Industrial 

Foundation is actively searching for 

industries to move to the area to improve 

the county’s unemployment rate of 9.6 

percent, according to Workforce 


Signs along U.S. 68-80 read that 

more than 1,000 acres are available. 

Elkton is home to two industrial parks 

while Guthrie has three. 

As construction takes place along 

Highway 181 North, Camp said she 

believe the future looks bright for further 

industrialization. 

“The road to the north is not in good 

shape but they’re beginning to work on 

it,” said Camp. “I think our turning point 

will be the road to Greenville.” 

Camp said she also wants to see a 

road built connecting West Kentucky 

Parkway to Interstate 24 because Todd 

County “would be in the hot spot.” 

Until then, Camp said she hopes factories 

such as the Hemlock 

KELLY SHANKS/STANDARD 

Workers at Refine Tile in Elkton make a product that is sent all over the 

world. 

Semiconductor plant will continue to 

draw workers who will be attracted to the 

welcoming vibe of Elkton and its surrounding 

communities. 

“As more people come and they drift 

this way they’re going to like our small 

town and I’m hoping they’ll move over 

here if we provide good housing,” said 

Camp. “They’ll spend part of their 

money here as far as the restaurants and 

the groceries and the utilities are all paid 

in this area.” 

Hemlock – producer of polycrystalline 

silicon, or polysilicon, used in the growing 

solar cell technology and electronics 

industries – announced in December 

2008 that it would be opening a plant in 

Commerce Park in Clarksville, Tenn. And 

while the plant will not bring payroll tax to 

Todd County, it is expected to increase 

city revenue with employees spending 

money earned here. The place should initially 

provide 500 jobs, increasing to 800 

when it becomes fully operational. The 

facility is expected to open in 2012. 

Guthrie Mayor Scott Marshall and 

Camp are both hoping to see satellite 

plants for Hemlock take root in Todd 

County.

Until then, Camp said she 

and others are working hard to 

bring industries and show them 

that Todd County would be a 

successful place to locate. 

“We have good utilities and 

(they are) adequate enough to 

serve factories,” said Camp. 

“We’re ready for them when 

they get ready to come.” 

While hope for future industrial 

development is high, 

Camp said she is proud of what 

Todd County already has 

including: 

Dilling Group, Inc. in 

Guthrie specializes in providing 

institutional and industrial engineering, 

construction, HVAC 

service, construction management, 

building temperature 

controls and maintenance. 

Martin Industries manufactures 

farm equipment, producing 

planter attachments 

designed and patented by 

founder and owner Howard 

Martin. The company added 

computer numeric controlled 

machines, plasma cutting and 

welding and custom-build spray 

Refine Tile workers prepare the tile product in the factory located in Elkton. 

boons to its list of specialization. 

Refine Tile in Elkton came 

in 2008, after its president and 

founder of ReVision LLC 

acquired Accretia Products. 

The company serves the 

ceramic tile industry with services 

such as diamond saw and 

waterjet cutting, mosaic, border, 

deco, bullnose and rotary 

silk screens production. 

Other companies important 

to Todd County include Cal- 

Maine Foods Inc. in Guthrie, the 

largest producer and distribution 

of fresh shell eggs in the U.S.; 

Cumberland Ridge Forest 

Products LLC in Guthrie, a 

sawmill producing timber and 

lumber; Koppers Industries Inc. in 

Guthrie, producer of treated 

wood used in the railroad industry;

AGRICULTURE 

TODD COUNTY PUTS THE BUSINESS IN AGRIBUSINESS 



It doesn’t take a genius to know that 

there is a whole lotta farming going on in 

Todd County. 

Just look at the countryside of cattle, 

hogs, wheat, soybeans and corn while 

driving on a two-lane blacktop at 20 

miles per hour behind some machine that 

takes up the whole road. That should be 

enough evidence. 

And then there are numbers to back it 

up. The whole of Todd County has 

241,000 acres, according to a 2007 

USDA census (that census is taken 

every five years). Farmers have 

197,976 acres at their disposal. Do the 

math. 

“We do live in a good location, a 

productive environment agriculturally, ” 

says Curt Judy, County Extension 

Agent for Agriculture. “The folks here 

have done a good job in maintaining 

their soil. In recent history, some of our 

soil types are the best in Kentucky.” 

That report shows there were 759 

farms here, with an average size of 261 

acres, which is above the state average 

of 164. On those acres, 70 percent are 

cropped, 18 percent used as a woodland, 

10 for pasture and 4 percent for 

a mixed use. 

The top crop is corn, with 48,390 

acres in 2007 (eighth in the state) with 

a 2009 estimate of 45,200, followed 

by soy beans at 42,975 (tenth in the 

state) with a 2009 estimate of 45,900, 

then 15,010 of wheat in 2007 (with an 

update estimate of 32,800 for 2009, a 

huge jump), followed by acres of forage 

and silage. In 2007, Tobacco ranked 

fourth in the state at sales value by 

commodity group with a 2009 estimate 

of more than 20,000 acres of dark air, 

burley and dark fired. The 2009 USDA 

estimates for cattle, for all cattle and 

calves, is 20,500. 

About 34,000 people farmed full-time 

in Todd County in 2007, with others 

farming on a seasonal basis. The average 

age of a farmer was 53.2 years. 

Todd County is number one in the 

state when it comes to layers/pullets in 

Tobacco hangs in a barn between Kirkmansville and Allegre in Todd 


the chicken production and fourth in the 

state in poultry and egg sales. Todd’s cattle 

and calf-related sales value is fourth in 


The 2009 estimate numbers for cash 

receipts from farm marketings has Todd 

County at $146,086, ranking fifth in the 

state in total receipts. 

Makes you appreciate those horses 

and buggies a little bit more. 


JUDICIAL SYSTEM 



Fixing problems that have been building 

a lifetime — that’s what District Judge 

Sue Carol Browning says is the most difficult 

part of her job. 

In her 16 years as district judge for 

Logan and Todd counties, Browning has 

sat in on many hearings and made many 

decisions. Hearing most criminal cases, 

with few exceptions, Browning also handles 

civil, juvenile, probate and small claims 

court. Cases range from abuse and neglect 

cases, child support, and paternity cases to 

domestic violence and mental health cases. 

“I’m not sure everyone realizes that I 

am on call 24 hours a day, seven days a 

week, 365 days a year,” said Browning. “I 

set bonds for people who have been 

arrested and deal with emergency matters 

such as domestic violence, mental health 

warrants and emergency custody orders 

for children who are neglected or abused. 

These things come up every single day of 

the year. Often things will come up in the 

middle of the night.” 

While constantly working can be 

exhausting, Browning said that does not 

compare to the biggest challenge of her 

job — juvenile court. 

“Often we’re dealing with young adults 

and we’re dealing with someone who has 

no work ethic, no sense of responsibility 

for their own actions, no sense of morality

instilled in them and these are 

things that it takes a lifetime to 

do,” said Browning. “The ones 

that are challenging are the 

people in some cases just simply 

weren’t raised. I’m supposed 

to change behavior in 

the brief period of time that I 

have them in court and that’s 

very very difficult when it’s 

something that should be done 

over a lifetime.” 

Other cases are much easier, 

she said. 

“A lot of the people I deal 

with are very good people who 

have just made a mistake and 

those cases are easy,” said 

Browning. “Everybody makes 

mistakes.” 

Browning said many times 

she relies on God when presiding 

over difficult cases. 

“For me to do the job it 

takes a lot of prayer,” said 

Browning. “I’m often dealing 

with situations in which there is 

no good answer, there is no 

good solution so I try to pray 

and ask that God will give me 

the best solution.” 

Working around the clock, 

Browning spends Monday 

afternoons and Tuesdays in 

Todd County and Monday 

mornings, Wednesday and 

Thursdays in Logan County. 

Browning said she typically visits 

both counties on Fridays. 

Tyler Gill started in 

Browning’s position in 1993 

before being elected circuit 

judge in 1995, a position he’s 

filled since then and considers 

the best job in Kentucky. 

Unlike the district judge position 

which is re-elected every 

four years, Kentucky circuit 

judges serve eight-year terms. 

Circuit court is just a rung 

higher on the ladder of the judicial 

system, with the judge 

hearing cases of higher matters. 

“Circuit judges handle conflicts 

involving more permanent 

changes in families, larger 

sums of money, more critical 

property issues and more serious 

crimes than do district 

courts,” said Gill. “Circuit 

courts also rule upon appeals 

from district courts.” 

These cases include adoptions, 

actions to terminate 

parental rights, custody disputes, 

divorces, felony criminal 

cases and civil disputes over 

property or money involving 

more than $5,000 among others. 

Because the Kentucky legislature 

does not fund a family 

court judge for the Logan and 

Todd county circuit, Gill hears 

those cases. He said making 

decisions in disputes involving 

families is the hardest part of 

the job. 

“Decisions … involving children 

are among the most challenging 

and stressful 

decisions judges make,” said 

Gill. “They differ from other 

cases since they usually 

involve many disputed facts 

and few hard and fast rules to 

guide judges. Broad general 

principles such as “the best 

interest of the child” 

are often the only legal guidance 

for these decisions. Yet 

the consequences of these 

decisions are generally greater 

than any other category of case 

because it can affect generations.” 

Gill also serves on Project 

Development boards that oversee 

construction of new judicial 

buildings in Logan and Todd 

counties. 

Per request of the chief justice, 

Gill oversees a program 

commonly referred to as drug 

court. 

“The title is misleading 

because this program is not a 

court of law but is simply an 

intense drug treatment program 

undertaken as a collaborative 

effort between the three 

branches of government,” said 

Gill. “It is designed 

to better address the drug 

addiction problem that is at the 

root of many felony crimes and 

family problems.” 

Being a judge for 18 years, 

Gill said there are still public 

misconceptions of a judge’s 

responsibility, especially the

idea that judges may cheat 

the system. He said these 

come about by a general lack 

of public interest in judicial 

and civic matters. 

“It is not uncommon 

for people to express genuine 

surprise when told that I am 

not free to simply 

ignore laws,” said Gill. “I am 

referring to people who 

believe that judges are 

authorized to change 

or break clearly 

established rules with a wink 

and a nod. 

If judges were allowed the 

luxury of being able to cheat 

by imposing our own personal 

will or whim, this 

would meet the definition 

of tyranny.” 

He said this is avoided by 

the allowance of higher 

courts to appeal to reverse 

the decision of a lower 

court. 

For Gill, the most rewarding 

part of the job is being 

able to provide justice and a 

fair process along the way to 

those citizens who elect him. 

“My work is to oversee 

the mechanism of the Circuit 

Courts in these two counties 

so as to create an atmosphere 

where justice stands 

the best chance,” said Gill. 

“I enjoy seeing our circuit 

clerks, prosecutors, criminal 

defense attorneys, civil attorneys, 

police, probation officers, 

sheriffs, bailiffs, jurors 

and others working together 

in a proper process.” 

Gill said justice is a combined 

effort. 

“In these rural communities, 

the end result, justice or 

injustice, good or 

bad, belongs to us,” said Gill. 

“Justice is a community 

effort. We can blame no one 

else. We can trust no one 

else to do it. It is too important 

a task to be entrusted to 

government. I am rewarded 

when I see our system work 

as it should.” 

Gill said his schedule 

depends on the time of year 

and what types of cases are 

on the docket. However, he 

is in Elkton every Wednesday 

from 8:30 until noon handling 

Todd County Criminal 

Cases and then handles civil 

motions in the afternoon. 

He does the same on 

Thursdays in Logan County. 

Mondays, Tuesdays and 

Fridays are used for trials 

hearings and administrative 

business. Trials without juries 

are held throughout the year. 

Trials by jury are held 

January, February, April, 

May, August and September 

in Logan County and March, 

July and November in Todd 


Gill estimates about onefourth 

of his cases take place 

in Todd County. 

With Browning and Gill 

handling both Logan and 

Todd counties, Todd County 

Circuit Court Clerk Mark 

Cowherd keeps all Todd 

County judicial court records 

on file. 

“I’ve always thought of it 

in a sense that I’m kind of like 

the librarian of court proceedings 

for Todd County,” 

said Cowherd, who became 

clerk in 1998 after working 

in the office for several years. 

Handling all district and 

circuit court cases, Cowherd 

said the files range from a 

“parking ticket to a DUI to a 

cold check, misdemeanor, 

felony, all civil suits, all juvenile 

cases, all adoptions, all 

domestic violence cases.” 

Cowherd said many people 

are surprised when they 

find out the wide spectrum of 

his job responsibilities as well 

as the duties of all judicial 

officials. 

“We do drivers’ licenses, 

which is what most people 

who have never been 

involved with the court system 

probably think we do, is 

take pictures,” said Cowherd. 

“That’s actually the smallest 

portion of what we do. I 

don’t know that some people 

realize just how much is 

involved in the court system.”

Justice Center should be ready by 2012 



After an Oct. 16, 2009 

groundbreaking ceremony, Todd 

County residents should expect 

the completion of the Judicial 

Center in mid-March 2012. The 

$11.1 million project, authorized 

by the Kentucky General 

Assembly in 2006 with the budget 

approved in 2008, has been 

faced with few obstacles. 

“We’ve had several delays 

because of weather — a bad 

winter and the rain this spring,” 

said David Welker, on-site construction 

manager with Codell 

Construction. “Other than that 

the project is going great.” 

Mark Cowherd, Todd 

County circuit court clerk, said 

there has been some negative 

feedback on spending so much 

money during the recession, but 

Todd County was added to the 

list for a judicial center in the 

1990s when the administrative 

office of the courts began pushing 

for updated court houses. 

When the family court amendment 

was passed in 2000, the 

push for judicial centers became 

stronger. 

“It amazes me that people 

still don’t realize the state is paying 

for this,” said Cowherd. 

“It’s not like the jail where the 

county has to pay for that. The 

state is paying for this, if we 

had said no somebody else 

would’ve got it. With the economy 

like it is they’re saying why 

did we do this, but they don’t 

realize that it’s one of these 

deals where the state is giving 

them out.” 

At 34,000 square feet, the 

building will house two courtrooms 

and offices for the circuit 

court clerk, circuit and district 

judges, the court designated 

worker, pretrial release officers 

among others. Other offices 

will keep their location at the 

current court house. 

Cowherd said the biggest 

advantage of the new judicial 

center will be additional space. 

Circuit and district court are 

TODD COUNTY SCHOOLS

Our mission is to TEACH all students from a

sharing the one courtroom at 

the current location and when 

the state budget permits, family 

court will be added to the mix, 

said Cowherd. 

“We have to use the conference 

room if we have more 

than one court going on,” said 

Cowherd. “It’s a logistic nightmare. 

The courthouse we are 

in is not that old but it was 

designed before they changed 

the court system in the state of 

Kentucky.” 

Cowherd said there are also 

plans to expand the drug court 

program as well as programs 

aimed to prevent juvenile 

crimes. Another advantage of 

the new building is the setup of 

the courtrooms, said Cowherd. 

“As weird as it sounds, 

Judge (Tyler) Gill will always tell 

people, believe it or not, our 

courtroom was not designed to 

have trials in,” said Cowherd. 

“There’s no place to separate 

witnesses. There’s no place to 

keep the victims or victims’ 

family away from the families of 

the defendant. One of the big 

things they pushed on these judicial 

centers is to provide the 

space to keep all of the parties 

separated so that you can have a 

trial without any problems.” 

Because of the unique functions 

of a courthouse, fulfilling 

those needs is a priority. 

“You’ve got obviously more 

security and a lot more electrical 

issues to deal with court houses,” 

said Welker. 

Having built nearly 60 courthouses 

in Kentucky, Codell 

Construction is familiar with the 

process, but Welker said the 

architects at JKS Architects and 

Engineers envisioned this project 

being unique to Todd County. 

The building will be red brick 

with a charcoal roof and limestone
