LONE OAK HOUSE RIBBON CUTTING 2008
Ever wanted to see a "Living Museum"? Did you eat at the restaurant "Crockets"? Have you seen Lone Oak in the last 6 years?
These were the questions Hopkinsville Historian William Turner asked the crowd that had gathered for the museum's ribbon cutting on June 25, 2008. Rachel Longworth took the photographs that you see here of what it looks like today. Notice that the top level windows are different from the lower level; according to the current owner, Jim Corsey, the top level rooms were built at a later date. Currently you can view the house by appoitment only and a website that chronicles the history of Lone Oak is forthcoming.
