Our first installment of Magoffin In History takes us back several decades for a glimpse into life in Eastern Kentucky. This photograph from the Thompson family collection shows a group gathered across an open field, spectators along a hillside, and vintage automobiles parked near a road. But what exactly was happening here? Was this a community gathering, an organized event, or something else entirely? We’re asking our readers to help identify the location, approximate year, people pictured, and the story behind this photograph. Every detail could help preserve another piece of Magoffin County’s history! Photo courtesy of Brenda Thompson Kendall and the Charles G. Thompson, Jr. family collection.
