How Louisville Transformed America

Join architect-historian Steve Wiser, FAIA, and Farmington docent David Green as they show how Louisville helped shape the nation. Three U.S. Presidents and three Supreme Court Justices had strategic interactions with Louisville that resulted in significant physical and cultural changes for our nation. While these events resulted in major transformations of the United States, few in Louisville, and fewer still in the country, realize how these Louisville connections led to America’s growth and evolution. The talk is presented as part of our Afternoon Lecture Series, which takes place on the first Wednesday of the month. This talk opens our 2026 series and will take place on Wednesday, February 4. Doors will open at 12:50 PM for desserts and beverages; lectures begin at 1:15. Tickets are $6 for members or $8 for non-members, and can be purchased online or at the desk.
