The House that Uncle Herbert Built

 

In 1962 my late Uncle Herbert Bridges, a very skilled carpenter, was hired in Paducah, Kentucky by Metro Goldwyn Mayer to assist in building the sets for their block-buster movie "How the West Was Won."  He was most proud of helping to built this early pioneer home on the bank of the Cumberland River which was used in several scenes of the movie.  He said the "movie set" reminded him of the early family homes that our pioneer families actually lived in when they settled in Western Kentucky.
