IN 1921 RUTH THARPE HUNT BEGAN TO SELL THE CONFECTIONS THAT HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAD
ALWAYS LOVED. BECAUSE OF HER SUCCESS LOCALLY SHE OPENED A SMALL CANDY STORE IN HER HOME.

RUTH HUNT CONTINUALLY ADDED PRODUCTS TO HER LIST. TODAY THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 70 KINDS

DAIRY BUTTER AND FRESHLY ROASTED NUTS. THE RICH CHOCOLATE USED HAS NO ADDITIVES LIKE WAX.
UPON ENTERING THE CANDY FACTORY IT IS EVIDENT THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO OBSERVE A BIT OF
CONFECTIONERY HISTORY. FROM THE HUGE OLD MARBLE SLABS TO THE HAND-STIRRED, SPUN COPPER
KETTLES, THE ATMOSPHERE IS FLAVORED WITH SIGHTS AND SMELLS OF ``HOME MADE`` AND
``FRESHLY MADE`` CANDY. EVEN THE EMPLOYEES AT RUTH HUNT`S ARE A CUT ABOVE THE AVERAGE.
THEY EXHIBIT PRIDE AND SATISFACTION IN SEEING THAT EACH PIECE OF CANDY RECEIVES THEIR
PERSONAL APPROVAL. THEY PARTICULARLY ENJOY SHOWING THESE SKILLS TO THE GROWING NUMBER
OF VISITORS WHO DROP BY DAILY TO TOUR THE FACTORY. (THE BUILDING ITSELF HAS RECENTLY
BEEN DESIGNATED AN OFFICIAL ``KENTUCKY LANDMARK`` BY THE GOVERNOR.)
