The Historic Crenshaw House in Gallatin County is surrounded by facts, and some legends.   In this episode of WSIU INFOCUS, Dr. Mark Wagner, the Director of the Center for Archaeological Investigations at SIU-Carbondale talks about the history of the home, the surrounding site, and how the historic site should be open to the public so the entire picture of the time period of the late 1840s can be known.
