Tonight, we look back at a rare visit to Fort Knox, the death of a Kentucky legend and the birth of a trailblazing politician.

Our Toby Gibbs has all that in this week in Kentucky history.

Reporters, members of Congress and Treasury Department officials toured the gold vault at Fort Knox on September 23rd, 1974.

This isn't something that happens every day.

In fact, it wouldn't happen again until 2017.

Union and Confederate forces clashed in the Civil War Battle of Snow's Pond in Boone County on September 25th, 1862.

Confederates were trying to slow federal troops moving south.

Daniel Boone died September 26th, 1820, at the age of 86.

He was living in Missouri at the time, though his body was eventually moved back to Frankfort Cemetery.

Happy birthday to Emma.

Guy Cromwell, born September 28th, 1865, in Scottsville in Simpson County.

Her claim to fame.

She was the first woman to hold statewide office in Kentucky when the Kentucky Senate elected her state librarian in 1896.

She would go on to serve as secretary of state, state treasurer, state parks director, state bond commissioner and the Director of Archives.

And happy birthday to us.

Kentucky Educational Television signed on the air on September 23rd, 1968.

Those are some of the highlights of This Week in Kentucky history.

I'm Toby Gibbs.
