‘Brown Bag’ Discussion Discover Louisville’s Historic
Subdivisions & Neighborhoods THUR, Dec. 1 12-1PM
About a dozen subdivisions were
added to Louisville’s original
downtown by 1912. Though Louisville
was a small town, it also had distinct
neighborhoods, some of which were
based on where people had come
from, such as the neighborhoods of
Little Italy, Frenchtown, and the
English neighborhood of Kimbertown.
Museum Coordinator Bridget Bacon
will give a presentation on these
subdivisions and neighborhoods that
still define Old Town.
This program will be held in the
Library Meeting Room. Participants
are welcome to bring a lunch.
Art Walk at the Museum Louisville’s Larder
FRI, December 2 4-7PM Louisville’s Christmas Traditions of the Past
The Museum will observe the Louisville holiday tradition of
handing out sacks of simple treats to children. For decades,
from the 1920s to the 1980s, Louisville community
organizations paid for and put together these sacks that
typically contained an orange, nuts in the shell, and pieces
of ribbon candy.
For many Louisville children, receiving these treat sacks was
a large part of their holiday experience. During the
Depression, the sacks were even the main gifts for children
in some families. This year, we thank the Louisville History
Foundation for sponsoring the Christmas treat bags.
