A crew near Cloverport mans a specially constructed mussel barge, 1914. The racks on the boat supported multiple hooks that dragged the river bottom in search of mussels. Postcard courtesy Ron Morgan. The brailing hooks are from a modern-day operation in Marshall County, donated by Norm Davis, KHS Collections. These and hundreds of other artifacts, images, oral histories, and videos are showcased in the exhibit A River Runs Through Us: The Rivers of Kentucky, on display in the Keeneland Changing Exhibits Gallery at the Kentucky History Center throughout 2005.
