Birth of a Legend. Kentucky's Most Famous Citizen [full inscription unknown]

105 Colonel Sanders St, Corbin, KY, United States

Birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken. In 1932 Colonel Harland Sanders bought the small restuarant near this site. Here he combined good cooking, hard work and showmanship to build regional fame for his fine food. His restaurant and a motel, now gone, flourished. To serve his patrons better Sanders constantly experimented with new recipes and cooking methods. Here he created, developed and perfected his world famous Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. In 1956 plans were announced for a Federal highway to by-pass Corbin. Threatened with the traffic loss, Sanders, then 66, and undaunted, sold the restaurant and started travelling America selling seasoning, and his recipe for fried chicken to other restaurants. His success in this effort began the world's largest commercial food service system and made Kentucky a household word around the world. Presented by the innumerable friends of Kentucky's greatest goodwill ambassador.
