Newspapers

While not all of the events occurring in the Cave City area have caused worldwide notice, many newsworthy events have taken place in the community, and two newspapers have been published in Cave City. The Cave City Progress was first issued on March 15, 1935. Some of the advertisers in that first edition were Economy Garage, Bill’s Radio Shop, Earnest Craighead (representing Armour Creamery), Ace Theater and Hill Brothers’ Garage. Conard C. Embry was the first editor and business manager. The paper is still published under the masthead of The Progress.

The Cave City Herald preceded the Progress, its first edition being printed on May 12, 1888, with T.T. Page as editor.
