Eddyville

(#909) from Kentucky Life Program 909 (2003)

While traveling across Kentucky on U.S. Hwy. 62, host Dave Shuffett learns about some geographical changes wrought by the damming of the Cumberland River to form Lake Barkley in the 1950s. Circuit Judge Bill Cunningham shows him the original site of the town of Eddyville, flooded by the dam project, and recalls growing up on small-town streets that are now underwater.
