BITE OF HISTORY Lecture Series: Catholics on the Kentucky Frontier and in Early Louisville January 20, 2011

The Frazier International History Museum’s BITE OF HISTORY lunchtime lecture series features a remarkable selection of historians and authors, with help from our own curatorial staff and historical interpreters, presenting a variety of engaging topics on a monthly basis.

Admission is FREE; bring your own lunch; beverages and light desserts are provided. All lectures take place on the third Thursday of the month at 12 noon. Admission to exhibit galleries is included.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Frontier Kentucky was a focus of early Catholic leadership in America. Bellarmine University’s Father Clyde Crews traces the Catholic Church’s history in Kentucky, including profiles of some of its leading personalities. He also discusses accounts of Catholics in Louisville’s early history, framed against the backdrop of other early churches in the community.
