Scenes of Gene Autry Park

Ada Icon photog Ken Collins took a tour of Hardin County with camera in hand and didn't have to go far to see these scenes of Gene Autry Park, just one block west of the courthouse in Kenton.

Autry is known as  America's Favorite Singing Cowboy, having written and recorded hundreds of songs.

The Autry museum is located in LA. Although he died at the age of 91 in 1998, long before the take off of social media, his YouTube Channel has garnered more than a million views in just three years.
