Preventing Frozen Pipes As we move into the winter months and cooler temperatures, make sure to keep an eye on your water pipes and plumbing. Frozen pipes that break or burst can cause expensive water damage. Even a small break in a water pipe can pour hundreds of gallons of water each minute into your home or residence. As many homeowners take time over the winter holidays to visit family and travel, it’s important to know what preventative measures you can take to help prevent frozen or burst pipes. Here are just a few tips to prevent frozen pipes.

200 YEARS AGO TODAY On November 25, 1820 Callaway County was organized, and named for Captain James Callaway, grandson of Daniel Boone. This area was histo...rically occupied by the Osage and other Native American peoples, some of whom migrated from east of the Ohio River Valley. The early European-American settlement of Callaway County was largely by migrants from the Upper South states of Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, with an influx of German immigrants starting in the 1830s, as was the case with other counties along the Missouri River. Some of them brought African-American slaves and slaveholding traditions with them, and quickly started cultivating hemp and tobacco, the same crops as were grown in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. Given their culture and traditions, this area became known as Little Dixie. The Battle of Moore's Mill was the only significant Civil War battle that took place in Callaway County. One historian said it was known as 'Kingdom of Callaway'. Since it’s settlement, Callaway County has always had a bold streak. (We tried to succeed from both the Union and Confederacy, for goodness sake.) In 1946, we Callawegians we were audacious enough to ask Harry Truman to invite Winston Churchill to visit Westminster College in Fulton. Churchill accepted and delivered the Iron Curtain speech, now considered a harbinger of the Cold War. In the 1960’s, we took on the daunting task of relocating the rubble of a Wren church from London and rebuilding it to house the largest Churchill Collection in North America. Twenty 20 years later, we helped Churchill's granddaughter bring the Berlin Wall sculpture to the museum. Today, "Breakthrough" is the largest section of the wall outside of Germany. Callawegians are stouthearted and vibrant, with a strong sense of place. Like if you are proud to be a Callawegian! #callawayproud #ithappenedincallaway
