Louisville’s Gilded Age with author and historian Daniel Gifford
Daniel Gifford will discuss his discoveries from Louisville’s Gilded Age found in his new book Benefactors of Posterity: The Founding Era of the Filson Historical Society 1884-1899.
This critical exploration of historic touchstones, like Enid Yandell’s Daniel Boone statue, the Southern Exposition, and the tornado of 1890, revises our understanding of key moments in our regional history.
In the middle of it all was the Filson Club (now the Filson Historical Society), whose multifaceted origin story provides a window into Louisville’s growth and the evolution of historical study at the dawn of a new century.
