Tune in on March 4 for our final Virtual deTour of the season as we explore the history and remnants of Elm Bend, a rural community in southern Woodford County that once played an important role in Central Kentucky’s agricultural and social landscape.

Although Elm Bend no longer exists as a formal town, historic homes, farm structures, landscape features, and a small community cemetery remain, offering a powerful window into the lives, labor, and legacies of the families who lived and worked here in the mid-twentieth century.

We’re excited to partner with the University of Kentucky’s Monuments Workshop to uncover the stories of often-overlooked sites of memory and conflict. This deTour will shine a light on one such site and the vital work being done with community partners to document, interpret, and restore its significance.
