Portrait of A Town: Cave City, Kentucky August 22, 2009

This exhibit of approximately sixty images documents the Barren County community of Cave City during the early decades of the twentieth century. The photographs were taken by William R. Reynolds, Jr. who purchased a camera around 1900 and eventually operated a photography studio in Barren County. The prints were made from glass plate negatives donated to the Kentucky Library & Museum by Dale & Kate Covington, grandchildren of the photographer.
