A tremendous thanks to Megan and Keith Stone, proprietors and restorers of the historic Wigwam Village #2 in Cave City! We had a great turnout for tonight's tour and talk at this National Register of Historic Places site. The Stones have accomplished so much and there's more to come. In this National Historic Preservation Month, we salute the Stones for their commitment to this important historic site.
