A Trip to Kentucky

Welcome, vistors! You have landed on a temporary web site* with photos from my summer vacation. My sister Martha Clark and I attended the 2002 annual meeting of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation held in Louisville, Kentucky. We had a wonderful time learning about the history of the Lewis & Clark Expedition and made many new friends. This year's meeting focused on some Clark family sites in and around Louisville. We had been to some of these places before, but many of the sites were new to us.
After the meeting ended, we traveled further south to visit cousins in Green and Metcalfe Counties in Kentucky, and I have included photos from that part of our adventure, too.

One of the tours included an elegant lunch at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby. The grandson of William Clark -- Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. -- founded the Louisville Jockey Club and was the man who initiated the annual horserace. His mother was Abby Churchill Clark, and the racetrack was located on land leased from his uncles, John and Henry Churchill. | |
