One Kentucky governor was in office for just five days.

Plus Lucky Lindy's trip to Kentucky.

And we look back at the big day for Kentucky town with a number as a name.

Our Toby Gibbs has details.

In two nights this week in Kentucky history.

John Helm, a Democrat, was elected governor of Kentucky on August 5th, 1867.

Helm had become ill during the campaign.

He was sworn in while in bed on September 3rd and then died September 8th.

Charles Lindbergh landed his plane, The Spirit of Saint Louis at Bowman Field in Louisville on August eight, 1927.

With 10,000 people watching.

It was part of a national goodwill tour, just three months after Lindbergh's famed solo flight across the Atlantic.

On August eight, 1988, about 4000 people showed up in the small community of 88 in Barron County to celebrate the date.

Eight 888.

Happy birthday to writer Silas House.

Born August 7th, 1971, in Laurel County.

Kentuckians had a great view of a total solar eclipse on August 7th, 1869.

The path of totality included Manchester, Harrodsburg and Louisville, and astronomers viewed the eclipse from a telescope at Shelby College in Shelbyville.

A telescope considered one of the best in the nation.

And that's a look back at this week in Kentucky history.
