The next time you drive around the Court Square in Barbourville, Kentucky, please take notice of the old Magic Theatre's red, yellow and blue marquee. And know this: the marquee, which dates back to 1941, was nearly demolished just a few short months ago.

The new issue of the Museum's quarterly magazine, The Knox Countian, features a businessman, civic leader, and "magician at heart," Archie West, who lived 1917-1996, mostly in Knox County, Kentucky. The articles and photos were submitted primarily by his son, Archie B. West. Featured are Archie West's Standard Oil Stations in Barbourville and several stories about his practical jokes and pranks.
