The TV show Headwaters featured a landmark for many miles around, and that was the house in the shape of a goose located in Hazard. An original design of the builder, James Stacy, the "Mother Goose" dominates the landscape in its community and has loaned its name to several close-by businesses. The Headwaters series featured much of the detailing of the structure and the history of the unique building. Mr. Stacy's widow recalled how the Goose was designed by actually studying the anatomy of a real bird and many other fascinating details of its history. (It is most interesting to me, who is within a few days of becoming a new resident of Hazard, that "the Goose" is still a point of reference for that area of the community as well as a wonderful source of publicity to the whole area since it is still photographed by many magazines with very wide distribution.)
