Wilson and Allied Families of Adair Co., KY. / Akin Woodwork Shop at Antioch, KY.  


Akin Woodwork Shop
Antioch, Adair Co., KY.

Akin Woodwork Shop
Located on Highway 61 just before entering the Sparksville community.

This landmark  has been here as long as I can remember, early 1940s.
The first red cedar bed room suite I ever saw was made here by Mr. Lafe Akin.


Message from a visitor:

Carlis
I just saw the page with the picture of this old shop! I have 2 pieces that he made ( a gavel and a wooden round trinket box and they are sitting in my living room right now! ) and have great memories of visiting there and the awesome smell of cedar when you went inside!
I recognized it right away by the odd shape of the building.
That brought back very fond memories, I think he was the one that made Mom a cedar chest.
If I remember right Dad said he was a cousin of his.
Once again I must thank you for the memories!
