Harlan (1900-1988) and Anna ( 1902-1986) Hubbard were interested in what was really out there, and how to live more fully within it. Painters, writers, musicians, and shanty boat river warriors, these two lived their natural lives as close to the river as a salamander might do near its home pond waters. They married in 1943, immediately building a shanty boat and commencing an eight year voyage down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. In 1951, they built a cabin and work barn in Payne Hollow on the Ohio River in Trimble County, Kentucky, where they lived out the remainder. Thanks to the good work of friends, supporters and the recently established non-profit foundation, “Payne Hollow on the Ohio,” the Hubbard land and cabin and are being preserved along with the legacy of these pioneers in natural living. You can find out more about their activities at http://www.paynehollowontheohio.org. And if you go, say hi to Chair David Wicks or Founding Board Members Ted Steinbock, Joe Wolek and Board Member Susan Griffin-Ward. I did, while hiking on down to the cabin. Here are some videos of my journey!
