J U Kevil Memorial

Text Box: History of the Kevil Center Mr. J. U. Kevil, 1882-1941 desired that his estate be left for the benefit of the Mayfield Graves County area. In 1965, the Kevil Will Committee appropriated about half of the estate to the J. U. Kevil Memorial Foundation, Inc. The purpose of the foundation was to build and aid in the operation of a comprehensive Mental Health-Mental Retardation Center and Opportunity Workshop. The first phase of construction was completed in 1968 with funds coming from the following sources: Federal Construction Grant, the State Department of Mental Health, and the J. U. Kevil Foundation. A second phase of construction, which added the sheltered workshop, was completed in November of 1972. A third phase of construction completed in 1992 added a warehouse and an additional work area. A second warehouse was purchased in 2004.
