The 100 year old Theater in Kentucky-cemetery-coal camps

Did you know Henry Ford once bought and ran a coal company named Fordson in rural Kentucky? Did you know he built buildings on a coal camp and they still remain today, along with his previous party house and lots of interesting other things.
We visit Stone Ky, checking out some old buildings. A 100 year old theater and a cemetery across the street from Fords old hang out pad.
Since Henry Ford made cars-which required steel, which required coke and iron-it was no wonder he wanted to go into the coke, iron, steel, and transportation businesses. When Ford Motor Company experienced a work stoppage due to a coal shortage in 1922 he made his move, forming the Fordson Coal Company to buy the Stone mines and others in the region.
