Crittenden Cabin gets new roof Donations still a critical need to complete restoration

By Scott WhiteWoodford Sun StaffReport for America corps member The last time the Sun checked in on the progress of the restoration of the historic Crittenden Cabin, it had been moved from the interior of the Red Barn and reassembled at its new site near the fishing pond and dog park at the Woodford County Park.Just a month or so ago, the cabin got a new roof . . . a critical need that now opens the door to finish interior and other work before it can open to the community.
