‘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.
