Ruby Laffoon Log Cabin

The life and times of the governor of Kentucky from 1931 to 1935 is chronicled at this special-interest museum.

Reviewed By PeytonAdams42431 - Madisonville, United States

The cabin was moved as Ruby Laffoon's birthplace to the Historical Society site at great effort by the Society to honor the Governor born in Madisonville who was a rival to Happy Chandler and got the TB Hospital built locally. It shows how life was when he was a boy. There is even a cabinet built from the wood of a tree that grew at his place. You can see his photos above the mantle.
