Bybee Pottery is considered the oldest pottery operation in the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains. Employees still procure the yellow clay from a nearby source close to the banks of the Kentucky River. A family cousin, Ron Stambaugh, owns a retail outlet that sells Bybee pottery among other items under the name, A Little Bit of Bybee. Although rumors and news reports suggest the business is soon to close, the current owners have no plans of closing the doors.
In February 2011, Bybee Pottery laid off its eight remaining employees, sold off remaining in-store inventory and suspended operations. While it is neither producing nor selling products at this time, owners have stated that there is product formed that could be fired.
