42 and south of Little Italy. The tour leaves at 9:30 AM <br />from the north side of Miners Field. Suggested donation: <br />$5 per person. <br />The Museum Corner <br />Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator <br />Thank you so much to Jennifer Strand for leading a fun <br />Brown Bag discussion about Main Street in June! Many <br />came with their memories of things that have happened <br />on our Main Street. As Jennifer noted to those in <br />attendance, "Main Street is not an accident," but is rather <br />the result of many thoughtful decisions over many years <br />that have kept Louisville's downtown strong. Jennifer <br />also talked with Museum visitors right next to the <br />Museum's replica of downtown Louisville during the <br />First Friday Art Walk in June, when the topic was Main <br />Street. Thanks, Jennifer! <br />We are now featuring historic photos of area farms in the <br />exhibit area in the front windows of the Museum. Many <br />of these former farm sites are now residential <br />neighborhoods or open space. <br />Thank you so much to Museum volunteers Mona Lee <br />Doersam (for donating her talents and time to do the <br />layout of every issue of The Louisville Historian), <br />Deborah Fahey, Gail Khasawneh, Kate Gerard, Rebecca <br />Harney, Duane Elrod, Patricia Lester, Christine Gray, <br />Mary Kay Knorr, Patricia Murphy, Mary Ann Colacci, <br />Brian Parchman, Memory Delforge, Carol Williams, <br />Dave Hooley, Julie Schumaker, Kathleen Jones, and <br />Ardeshir Sabeti. Thank you also to Joann Petrelli, Alex <br />Chernoff, and others who have recently shared historical <br />information about Louisville with the Museum! <br />Thank you to Museum volunteers Carolyn Conarroe and <br />Patricia Murphy for creating reverse directories for the <br />Museum. This is so that we can look up addresses and <br />find out who lived in a particular house, which is <br />especially helpful when conducting research on <br />Louisville's historic houses. So far, we have created five <br />reverse directories that are based on published Louisville <br />directories from different decades that have only <br />alphabetical listings. <br />Also, thank you to the members of the Historical <br />Commission who helped at the Museum during the Taste <br />of Louisville in June: Paula Elrod and Betty Scarpella <br />(who carried on the tradition of making and giving away <br />pizzelles outside the Museum), Dave Ferguson, Julie <br />VanLaanen, and Gladys Levis-Pilz. Thank you to <br />Commission member Anne Robinson and former <br />Commission member Diane Marino for leading <br />historical walking tours of Louisville this summer. <br />Last, thank you to Lois Tesone for responding to my <br />request for more "Main Street Memories"! Her narrative <br />about Labor Day is a wonderful addition to our <br />information on Main Street. It appears in this issue. <br />Thank You for Your Monetary <br />Donations! <br />Thank you to the following people and organizations for <br />their recent generous monetary donations, other than <br />memorial donations, to the Louisville History <br />Foundation and Museum. <br />Fred Berns <br />Judy DiGiacomo <br />Mathew & Dilek Eccles <br />Alana Kunzelman <br />National Lightning Safety Institute <br />John T.
