FREE History Lecture Series: Riverfront Reflections
FREE History Lecture Series: Riverfront Reflections Location: Waterfront Park PlayPort 1105 Rowan Street Louisville, KY 40203 New Monthly History Series at Waterfront Park PlayPort Waterfront Park is launching a new monthly history series at PlayPort, closely located to both the Portland and Russell neighborhoods, right on the site of Jefferson County’s first settlement, Fort-on-Shore. Led by local historian Rick Bell, each session in the series explores a different topic related to the people, places, and events that shaped the city’s early history. Topics will include the founding of Corn Island, the creation of the Louisville-Portland Canal, the Great Flood of 1937, profiles on notable local figures, and storytelling around the development of our city’s waterfront from wasteland to a beloved community greenspace. Special attention will be given to the history of the Portland and Russell neighborhoods that surround PlayPort, the new experiential learning and play area. Each lecture runs approximately 90 minutes and includes a visual presentation and time for audience questions. Whether you’re a lifelong history buff or just newly curious, this series celebrates Louisville’s rich past while honoring the neighborhoods that helped shape it. History lectures are free to attend, the favor of registration is requested. Click HERE to register.

The week-long summer day camp will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from June 15 to 18. During the camp, students will be introduced to the works and history of Ed Hamilton, Muhammad Ali, and the Underground Railroad while also learning about Juneteenth and Louisville. Enjoying the Waterfront Park adventure, a riverboat ride on the Mary Miller, a day at the new PlayPort on the wharf and a visit to Roots 101 are all a part of this camp experience. Explanations of their art will be practiced throughout the week to prepare for their very own celebrational art exhibit at the end of the camp. The camp will then conclude with a celebration art exhibit where camper’s sculptures, collages and more will be on display. For more information and to learn how to nominate a student, who shows promise in the arts please visit here.
