American Legion Post 26
211 South 7th Street
Mayfield, Kentucky
On December 10th, 2021 a tornado devastated our town of Mayfield, Kentucky, along with areas in Graves County, the county in which Mayfield is located. Most of us didn't realize the extent of the damage that dreadful night. However, the next day driving around revailed just how much of our community had been destroyed, along with many lives lost. For many people, their lives will be forever changed. The clean-up is still in process, and the rebuilding of hte town is in progress. This will take years in the makeing. As an organization we have lost our American Legion Historic building, which was nearly 100 years old.
