SUMMARY:Bringing America 250 to the WILD about Shelbyville Arts & Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Shelby County Historical Society will be taking part in the 2026 WILD about Shelbyville Arts & Music Festival on Saturday\, May 9th from 11 am – 2 pm with special demonstrations from the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution)\, a visit from the Living Statues\, a look at a historical garment that didn’t make it into our current exhibit by Amy Liebert and Brian Cushing\, a special reading of the Declaration of Independence at 1 pm at Stargazer Plaza by Cushing\, and author John Graham will be selling his book\, Freedom’s Teacher: The Story of Elijah P. Marrs. Our museum will be open from 10 am – 2 pm and currently features “250 Years of Clothing in Shelby County\, Kentucky.” \nIn honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year\, the Shelby County Historical Society (SCHS) is giving our portion of WILD a 250th theme by having members of the Isaac Shelby Chapter of the SAR demonstrate 18th century “art forms” that our forefathers would have been familiar with in the Revolutionary War time period. The following demonstrations are scheduled to take place in front of the Shelby County Historical Society Museum at 627 Main St.\, Shelbyville from 11 am – 2 pm: \n• 18th Century Schooling and Quill Pen & Ink Writing\n• Weapons of the American Revolution\n• Fife & Drum Music\n• Flags of the American Revolution\n• Frontier Food \nPlease take time to step inside the Museum and go through our latest exhibit\, “250 Years of Clothing in Shelby County\, Kentucky.” This exhibit features many items from the SCHS collections; loaned items from Steve Abolt\, who has created\, managed\, and produced historical events throughout the United States for over 30 years and has been replicating historical clothing for over 40 years; and items from the personal collection of Brian Cushing (Museum Committee Chair) and his wife\, Amy Liebert. Several reproduction items were hand-sewn by Liebert. A special garment from the SCHS collection that did not make it into the exhibit will be on display for visitors to view and you can spend some one-on-one time with the couple as they share their expertise about clothing. “250 Years of Clothing in Shelby County\, Kentucky” was made possible by grants from America250KY/Kentucky Historical Society and the Shelby County Community Foundation.\nYou won’t want to miss the live wax figure artform of Living Statues\, as they bring to life the theme of the festival in creative ways from 12 – 2 pm. You’ll be mesmerized by the illusion they create as they transport onlookers to another time and place\, dressed in costume and standing motionless. Come see who they will portray at Stargazer Plaza and 6th Street!\nSCHS member and teacher\, John Graham\, has just released Freedom’s Teacher: The Story of Elijah P. Marrs. With illustrations by Sam Jordan\, this book focuses on Marrs’ childhood\, adolescence\, and later contributions to equal rights and education for Blacks in central Kentucky.\nIf you like what you see during the WILD Festival\, contact us about our 2026 Summer History Camp which will explore 250 years of American history. Space is limited\, but a few spots are left! Camp will take place at various venues around town. \nThe WILD about Shelbyville Festival\, an event by Shelby Main Street\, will be held on May 9th from 10 am to 3 pm along various spots in downtown Shelbyville where vendors\, artists\, musicians\, and kids’ activities will take place. There will be a Bourbon\, Bacon\, and Butter Bake-Off – Sweet and Savory held upstairs at Last Stop Brewing starting at 2 pm.

SUMMARY:A French Marquis in the New World: Lafayette and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:When Lafayette offered his sincere support for the American cause\, he set the stage for a French alliance. He set sail for America in early 1777 and proceeded to General Washington’s camp. The two stuck up a friendship: Lafayette admired Washington’s leadership and became a became a valued member of Washington’s close-knit military family\, while Washington saw Lafayette as a close confident and adopted son\, impressed with his dedication and courage. Lafayette even spent the harsh winter of 1777-78 with Washington and his men at Valley Forge. \nAt age 23\, Lafayette played a crucial role in the 1781 Siege of Yorktown\, serving as a division commander under Washington to trap British General Cornwallis. From the heights of Malvern Hill\, Lafayette and his men surrounded the British force at Yorktown\, holding them until reinforcements arrived\, thus aiding in securing an end to the American Revolution. Lafayette returned to France where he continued to fight for liberty and equality for all mankind\, in the midst of the French Revolution. He returned to the US in 1824 for a grand tour in which the people of every city he visited greeted him with cheers and exuberant celebrations. In May 1825\, he visited Shelbyville\, KY. \nThe speaker for this program\, Julien Pierre Icher\, is a 32-year-old French national\, Founder\, and President of The Lafayette Trail\, Inc. (lafayette250.org). He is a graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon\, one of the few French Grandes Ecoles. Julien is the host and director of Follow The Frenchmen\, a YouTube-based not-for-profit web series produced by The Lafayette Trail\, Inc. exploring and interpreting the significance of Lafayette’s legacy\, in particular the Frenchman’s tour of the U.S. in 1824-1825. Over the past few years\, he has given over 115 lectures\, primarily about Lafayette and the Farewell Tour. \nThhe With Liberty & Justice For All speaker series was created by the Shelby County Historical Society and the Countdown to USA 250! Committee. The SAR (Sons of the American Revolution\, Gov. Isaac Shelby Chapter)\, DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution\, Isaac Shelby Chapter)\, and the Painted Stone Settlers\, Inc. are partnering with the Shelby County Historical Society to present this series of four programs. These 250th programs were made possible by a generous anonymous donor. \nPrograms are free and open to the public. Appetizers served from 6 – 6:30 pm. \nCelebrating 250 years of history in Shelby County\, Kentucky!
