Southern Artist Showcase: Jubie Henderson

Southern Artist Showcase: Jubie Henderson

“When I carve, I don’t use a pattern. I just think of the bird I want, and I carve it.”

—Jubie Henderson, 1992

Discovery Park of America has premiered an exhibit of works by Jubie Hendeson (1914-1999) in the museum’s Southern Artist Showcase. The gallery features two new exhibits each year spotlighting Southern painters, photographers, sculptors and other fine artists.

Henderson was a self-taught wildlife artist and woodcarver from Fulton, Kentucky who specialized in native birds of the western Kentucky and Tennessee regions. While he focused most of his work on birds, and he is more well known for those pieces, he did occasionally produce paintings depicting landscapes from our area where he lived most of his life. Included are paintings of Reelfoot Lake. Due to physical limitations, he had to rely on his memory to recreate these scenes.

A farmer and cabinetmaker by trade, while recovering from rheumatic fever in his thirties (for the second time in his life), he began to paint. He never had an art lesson, but too weak to work and wishing to remain productive, he had a sudden urge to paint and found himself gifted with a natural eye for beauty and balance.

His first brushes were made from his pet dog’s hair, and he painted with oil that he mixed himself. His wife, Edith, took his paintings to the sewing factory where she worked to sell them for $5 each.

Needing to rest quite often, Henderson made an easel from yardsticks to fit over his bed.

As his reputation as an artist grew as his talent began to improve, people would visit his home to see and buy his artwork, and art students from the nearby University of Tennessee at Martin even came to learn from his painting and carving techniques.

During his life, his art has been featured at the Kentucky State Fair, the Midsouth Fair, the International Banana Festival, the First Face of Kentucky collection at the Kentucky State Capitol, the annual art exhibit at Cape Girardeau, and one-man shows in Martin, Tennessee and in Kentucky (Fulton, Hickman, and Paducah). He was a member of the Artists Registry at the Brooks Memorial Art Gallery (now known as the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art) for several years. His original work was also displayed there in 1970.

Discovery Park isn’t the only place you can find David Crockett

“The Ballad of Davy Crockett,” an action-packed Western featuring William Moseley, is set to release in select theaters and through video-on-demand on Friday, March 8, 2024. Moseley is known for his portrayal of the fictional character Peter Pevensie in the “The Chronicles of Narnia” trilogy, which won him a Kids’ Choice Award, in addition to nominations for a Saturn Award and a Young Artist Award. He also played Prince Liam in the E! series “The Royals.”

“It is the epic, story behind the legendary ‘King of the Wild Frontier,’” reads the movie’s description. “Long before his last stand at the Alamo, the legendary American hero Davy Crockett fought his way through a wild frontier to rescue his sons from the clutches of an evil land baron.”

Set in 1815, the film focuses on David Crockett’s adventures while fighting his way through the wild frontier to save his children from the clutches of an evil land baron (Colm Meaney of Hell on Wheels). According to producer-director Derek Estlin Purvis, “We wanted to explore the larger-than-life mythology that enshrouds the Crockett name and use his ardent opposition to Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act as a throughline for what turned out to be a beautiful action-adventure tale.”

There are many places at Discovery Park where guests can experience folk hero, frontiersman, politician and West Tennessee settler David Crockett every day. In addition to an exhibit and film, guests can take their photo next to a statue of Crockett. He lived in our region from 1822 until he departed for the Alamo in 1835. Crockett was also one of the earliest hunters around nearby Reelfoot Lake. Discovery Park’s annual celebration of Crockett’s birthday will take place on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024 and will once again feature interactive activities, live demonstrations and musical entertainment. Included will be a variety of programs on topics such as woodworking, fur trapping, outdoor cooking and more.

Discovery Park CEO, Scott Williams, recently published a biography on David CrockettThe Accidental Fame and Lack of Fortune of West Tennessee’s David Crockett that is available in the Discovery Park gift shop and on Amazon.com. “Of course, Crockett is still popular and pops up everywhere from Disneyworld to the Simpsons, said Williams. “I’m glad there’s now a film being released that will introduce one of Tennessee’s biggest icons to a whole new generation.”

UPDATE: Obion County Celebrates Another Step Closer to I-69

Route 690, part of the future Interstate 69, is officially open in Obion County. A group of local business leaders gathered in Discovery Park of America’s Cooper Tower on Wednesday to celebrate the first cars and trucks utilizing the new route. After the work had been halted because of a lack of federal funding, the Tennessee Department of Transportation later decided to complete an approximately 45-mile portion of I-69 running from the Kentucky line to Dyersburg using state dollars. Eventually, it will connect with I-155, a spur that crosses the Mississippi River and extends to I-55 near Hayti, Missouri. The remaining portions of the planned I-69 route through West Tennessee, including parts in Lauderdale, Tipton and Shelby counties, are currently on hold pending funding.

Coverage of Wednesday’s Opening Celebration:

WPSD Local 6, Businesses excited for influx of traffic as State Route 690 officially opens

WBBJ, 7 Eyewitness News, State Route 690 opens for travelers in Obion County

Thunderbolt Radio, Much Anticipated State Route 690 Four Lane Open in Obion County

Paducah Sun, Businesses excited for influx of traffic as State Route 690 officially opens

Future home of Interstate 69 is now open

Today, Discovery Park employees and members of the Obion County Chamber of Commerce celebrated the opening of the portion of the future I-69 that travels from Fulton, Kentucky through Union City, Tennessee with lunch in Discovery Park’s Cooper Tower.

“Robert Kirkland first picked this spot for Discovery Park nearly 15 years ago in anticipation of this day. It’s fantastic to see it finally open, “said Scott Williams, CEO of Discovery Park. “Now, we can all look forward to the completion of the final leg south toward Dyersburg. That is really going to be a game changer for tourism and industry in this entire region.”

TDOT crews made the transition from the current roadway to the new roadway direction on Wednesday morning. The section from west of SR 21 to south of SR 5 in Obion County has taken multiple projects over a decade and an investment of over $220 million.

The US 51 interchange with US 45 in Tennessee, stretching into Kentucky, is identified for funding in TDOT’s 10-Year Project Plan, with construction scheduled in Fiscal Year 2028. Once completed, I-69 in Tennessee will be connected to I-69 in Kentucky.

Henderson died in 1999 leaving behind an impressive collection of artwork.

Discovery Park Featured on The Fowl Life with Chad Belding

Discovery Park’s newest permanent exhibit, “Duck, Duck, Goose: Waterfowl of the Mississippi Flyway” has been featured on the popular podcast “The Fowl Life” with host Chad Belding.

Episode 352 is titled “The Intersection of Conservation and Waterfowl Hunting – Discovery Park Of America.” In the episode, Discovery Park’s CEO Scott Williams, discusses details of the exhibit, the role of the regional waterfowl hunting conservationists and hunters and more.

In each episode of his podcast, Belding follows waterfowl migration, providing listeners with behind-the-scenes experiences relating to waterfowl hunting and conservation and advice on choosing the right gear, new hunting strategies, duck calling techniques, how to prepare wild game and more. “The Fowl Life” features industry leaders, expert waterfowl hunters, professional athletes and others who are passionate about waterfowl hunting.

Born in 1974 in Reno, Nevada, Chad Belding is a lifelong sportsman and outdoors enthusiast whose love of the lifestyle was instilled at a very young age by his father the late outdoorsman Orville “Orv” Belding.

Chad’s passion eventually led him to predator and waterfowl hunting, and soon thereafter he became involved in competitive duck and goose calling in the late 1990’s while attending college at The University of Nevada, Reno. In college, he was a member of the competitive Division I baseball team and studied business, public speaking and history. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree he put his background in business to good use, co-owning and operating several businesses across Nevada, Colorado and Washington.

The call of the wilderness never left Belding, and in 2008 he founded Banded, a video production and merchandising company that specializes in waterfowl hunting gear and accessories as well as a selection of turkey hunting products. He also originated “The Fowl Life” television series, which went to air in 2009. “The Fowl Life” continues today as one of the top waterfowl hunting shows on the Outdoor Channel.

You can download and list to Belding’s podcast featuring “Duck, Duck, Goose: Waterfowl of the Mississippi Flyway” on his website, Spotify, iHeartRADIO, Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud and wherever you listen to podcasts.

This episode is brought to you by Final Flight Outfitters, Banded Brands, Avery Outdoors, Greenhead Gear Decoys, Jargon Game Calls, The Provider, American Almond Beef, Napa Valley Olive Oil, Cowboy Choice Feeds, The Nashville Palace and Corning Ford.
