A strong player during the momentous years of innovation, Kelley-Koett is a prominent fixture in Covington’s history. The x-ray manufacturer contributed significantly to the evolution of medical technology and earned the city the nickname “X-ray city.”
Join historian John Boh as he shares how the Northern Kentucky manufacturer became a modern corporation with a nationwide sales and service network, during the virtual NKY History Hour presentation, “Kelley-Koett X-ray Manufacturing Co. (1903-1956), West Fourth, Covington, KY,” Tuesday, Jan. 23, 6:30 p.m.
Register and participate in the free presentation by Behringer-Crawford Museum online.
Information on how to connect to the Zoom session will be sent after registration. The event will also be streamed live on BCM’s Facebook page . All recordings of past episodes can be viewed at www.bcmuseum.org.
John Boh grew up on a dairy and tobacco farm near Florence. He received a B. A. from Villa Madonna College, now Thomas More University, and an M. A. from U. C., both in history.
Boh was a founding member of the Kenton County Historical Society in 1977, which he has served regularly as an officer. In the early 1990s, he was elected to the Behringer-Crawford Museum (BCM) board of directors, now the board of trustees to which he has been re-elected yearly.
