Henderson's fledgling cable television system began producing original coverage of community events in 1974. If not for public apathy, cable subscribers could have started producing public access content along the lines of “Wayne's World.”

Two outlandish stories were making the rounds of the rumor mill in Henderson County 50 years ago.

Authorities in Illinois, Evansville and Henderson were scratching their heads 50 years ago trying to figure out the death of a local woman found floating in the Wabash River.

Late June 1999 saw lumber giant Weyerhaeuser Co. getting ready to acquire the MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. corrugated box recycling plant – now owned by International Paper Co.

In 1949 the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation was one of about 40 firms or organizations that had expressed interest in acquiring what commonly was called the ammonia plant.

The Henderson County Training School opened in 1936 on U.S. 60-East to educate Blacks and lasted nearly a quarter-century. The building had a longer life, however, as an addiction treatment facility.

People of a certain age have fond memories of drive-in theaters, which could include family outings, first dates, or hiding in the trunk to sneak in.

Few deaths would be more horrible than falling into a quicksand-like slurry of pulverized chicken guts. But that isn't what killed James A.

A Henderson factory with roots in the 1850s was going on the auction block in 1974 after having spent half its lifespan building horse-drawn vehicles and the second half crafting fine furniture.

Henderson County voters apparently were fed up 75 years ago − or perhaps they thought they weren't getting paid enough for their votes.
