Arnold Picture Page

		Jim Powell, producer and narrator of "The Arnolds of Owen County" stands in what was the kitchen of the cabin built by Thomas Arnold and John Arnold approximately in 1790. The beams in the background were hand hewn from White Poplar trees cut from the farm. The cheeking or filling between the logs has long deteriorated from this area of the cabin although it remains in other areas. The cheeking was made of hog's hair and mud. The 30 minute video from which this still was taken tours through the cabin starting from John Arnold's grave which is located about 75 feet from the structure, continues into the first floor of the cabin and follows into the loft.

The video program "The Arnolds of Owen County" won two national awards in 2000:
The Videographers Award and the TELLY Award


		The video program also tells the history of the Arnolds through the stories of the late Jerry Arnold another descendant and third cousin of Jim's. Known as a proficient storyteller throughout Kentucky, Jerry was considered one of the best at telling accurate history as well as spinning a good yarn. Jerry passed away soon after the program was completed.
