On Track: How old is Kentucky?

Ways To Subscribe

The United States of America turns 250 next year, and it’s got us asking: how do you determine the birthday of a place? On this episode, we sit down with historian Dr. Patrick Lewis from the Filson Historical Society to unpack how a place becomes a place, and why those dates matter. From frontier settlements to the people here long before them, we’re digging into what it really means to mark the beginning of a place we call home.
