Northern Kentucky History Day will once again take place at Boone County Public Library, 1786 Burlington Pike in Burlington. This popular event is Saturday, March 3 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Over the past 25 years, Northern Kentucky History Day has become a touch point for historians, educators, researchers and the interested public to come together to celebrate the vibrant and diverse history of Northern Kentucky.
From tragic events, to the Civil War, to life in our Northern Kentucky communities, Northern Kentucky History Day embraces the essence of Public History: historical research by community members about the community, for the community.
BCPL is privileged to have the opportunity to host this year’s event.
Paul Whalen will deliver the Keynote address: Kentucky U.S. Senators, based on his brand new publication of the same title at 9 a.m. After the Keynote, guests can visit the vendor tables from 9:45 to 10:30 a.m. With more than 35 local NKY genealogy, history and preservation organizations represented from across the region, there will be something of interest to everyone.
