01
Artifact Overview
In 1930, Harland Sanders began serving chicken dishes out of a service station in Corbin, Kentucky. In the 1950s, he actively franchised his chicken business and sold the recipe for his "Special Recipe" fried chicken. Until his death in 1980, "Colonel" Sanders had a flair for promotion. A stylized graphic of his face is still a trademark of the corporation.
