Liberty Hall Historic Site is excited to open sponsorships and ticket sales for the 2026 Kentucky Cultural Symposium – “Women in the Commonwealth: The Women Who Built Kentucky.”
Presented by Liberty Hall and the National Society of the Colonial Dames, this annual event highlights Kentucky’s historical and cultural foundations. This year’s topic, Women in the Commonwealth, acknowledges the amazing women who have so often worked behind the scenes to build, cultivate, and preserve Kentucky’s heritage.
Honor Sachs, award-winning author of Home Rule, printed by Yale University Press, headlines a rockstar list of academic speakers. These include Dr. Will Kuby, University of Tennessee, who will present on Mary Jane Warfield Clay, wife of Cassius Clay. Jennifer Downs, Kentucky Historical Society, and Kate Hesseldenz, Mary Todd Lincoln House, will present on aspects of their new exhibition and Katherine Helm, respectively.
The Kentucky Historical Society, serving as a Platinum Sponsor, has graciously provided their venue space at 100 W. Broadway, Frankfort, KY. The Kentucky Historical Society is ADA compliant. Guests needing hearing accommodation requirements or dietary restrictions, please email director@libertyhall.org
The Kentucky Cultural Symposium supports the preservation of Liberty Hall Historic Site's two historic homes. The two houses have been collectively described as "the jewels of downtown Frankfort". Along with almost five acres of historic gardens, LHHS represents an oasis of historical beauty and natural calm. As you might imagine, the preservation of such an estate requires extensive and costly maintenance. Your support of the KY Cultural Symposium goes directly towards that end and honors the motto of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America – “Entrusted with History’s Future.”
