Eric McAnallen presents “Bryan Station and the William Bryan Cabin.” Bryan Station, established in 1779 in Lexington was a frontier settlement founded by William Bryan, an early pioneer from Virginia. As one of the first fortified outposts in the region, it played a key role in the defense of settlers against Native American attacks during the tumultuous years of Kentucky’s settlement. Learn about a new discovery of a possible William Bryan cabin that stood off of Clays Mill. Guests enjoy three courses, including savories, scones and sweets, Elmwood Inn tea, period dressed interpreters, and a guided mansion tour—all set within one of Kentucky’s most beloved historic homes.
