The 1817 Saddle Factory is located in Russellville, KY, the original county seat for over 1,000 square miles of Kentucky wilderness. The four story building, which has been restored to its original layout, is perhaps the oldest industrial building in Kentucky. In 1820 there were 44 workers, mainly indentured servants and slaves, living on the site making saddles, bridles, shoes and a variety of other leather goods. Early Kentucky saddles, saddler's benches and primitive tools are on display. Living quarters for the workers were located in the attic, where they drew and wrote on the plaster walls. The building also serves as an area history museum and features changing exhibits, including the original fish weathervane that is believed to have been shot by the notorious Jesse James Gang in 1868. Other exhibits have focused on local artists, the integration of the segregated school systems and the 19th century colleges of Logan County.
