The Kentucky Culture Symposium is one of our most valuable and important programs. It brings together national scholars and experts on the historic material culture of Kentucky and its impact on Kentucky culture today. Each year, we forge new connections with the people of Kentucky as we advance the body of knowledge in a way that is tangible and meaningful for all.
Museums often hold and exhibit collections of objects representing the elite and upper class, but this year, the theme is Kentucky Backdrops. We will explore Kentucky’s scenic gardens, grounds & architecture.
This will be a full day of learning and includes not only four brilliant speakers, but also breakfast & coffee hour, and lunch before concluding the day with book signings and sales. The annual Kentucky Culture Symposium is held in a different city each year, so a big thank you to the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill for hosting us this year.
There is limited space, so please make sure to secure your reservation today! Tickets will be available for online sales soon!
