Our Toby Gibbs has that and more in tonight's Look.
Back at this week in Kentucky history.
Meriwether Lewis arrived in Clarksville, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Louisville on October 14th, 1803.
He would soon meet up with William Clark for the beginning of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific Northwest with nine Kentuckians as part of their party.
Governor AB Happy Chandler resigned as governor on October 9th, 1939.
King Johnson became governor and he appointed Chandler to the U.S. Senate.
This was just after the death of Senator Mel Logan.
Chandler would serve in the Senate until 1945, when he resigned to become baseball commissioner.
Kentucky State University opened on October 11th, 1887.
It had three teachers and 55 students.
John H. Jackson was the university's first president.
Senator College in Danville hosted a vice presidential debate on October 11th, 2012, between Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan.
The American Basketball Association's Kentucky colonels played their first game on October 14th, 1967, losing to the Indiana Pacers 117 to 95.
The so-called Peekskill meteor broke up over Kentucky on October 9th, 1992.
The pieces passed over West Virginia and hit a parked 1980 Chevy Malibu in Peekskill, New York.
And those are some of the highlights from This Week in Kentucky History.
I'm Toby Gibbs.
