“Commonwealth Curiosities: An Ode to Kentucky’s Unique Attractions,” a documentary by Steven Middleton, Morehead State University instructor of mass communications, is featured in the March 2015 issue of Kentucky Monthly.
The documentary, which focuses on the old American roadside attractions and curiosities here in Kentucky, will be profiled along with Middleton’s work with film here in Kentucky.
Commonwealth Curiosities brings to you a glimpse of Kentucky’s unique roadside attractions and the characters that are behind each distinctive place.
