Going on 200:

Century-old Businesses in Kentucky

There are hundreds of century-old businesses in Kentucky. Their diversity is amazing, their history fascinating.

 

Through historic and contemporary photographs and insightful essays, Going on 200 tells the stories of almost fifty of them. From the Auburn Leather Company to Tonini Church Supply, from the Dahl & Groezinger scrap yard to the A. D. Campbell dress shop, it's an appreciation of our century-old businesses both as providers of indispensable services and products, and as beacons of continuity in a commercial and cultural landscape stormy with change.

Clark's Kentucky Almanac

Clark’s Kentucky Almanac and Book of Facts editions has appeal for young and old alike, history or trivia buff—no other publication has included such a variety of information about Kentucky.

Here are two books that I'm proud to say that I had a major hand in creating. I was the photo editor for Clark's Kentucky Almanac and the Second Edition.
 

Incidentally, both books feature introductions by the late historian Thomas Clark.

The Second Editon of the Almanac has over 300 new photos in it and nearly 50% of the text is new. Buy both of them for your personal library. These are historic editions.

 

Going on 200 (below) involved visiting and photographing businesses across the state over a period of a couple of years. This was an interesting way to discover a "behind the scenes" Kentucky and meet the people who run small businesses.
