Judge Joseph Holt House

[GustD45]

In the little town of Hardinsburg, Kentucky there is an attempt being made to preserve his home. This past September my wife and I attended the Community Day celebrations. Reenactors of the Lincolns, the Grants, soldiers, men, women, and girls can be seen about the grounds. Please go to http://www.jholt-houseky.org/ to get more information on this restoration project and donate if possible. If you look at the pictures from this past years community day you can see my wife and I. A presentation of a wreath at Judge Holt's grave started with a procession led by Lincoln and Grant. I can be seen holding my wife's hand. So please check it out and possibly make plans to go in 2019

This is very interesting - thank you for posting, Gust.

Thank you so much for posting this. The house looks in better condition than the last time I saw photos of it (but sure wish that someone would brace that sagging gutter!).

As some of you know, Dr. Elizabeth Leonard authored an excellent biography of Judge Holt - as well as other good biographies. She made me aware of the ongoing project to restore the Kentucky home. It was a project very near and dear to her heart. I also accused her of having a crush on the Judge, something she did not deny.

Thank you Roger and Laurie. Susan Dyer has written extensively on the house and the project. I was able to get her autograph on the two books she wrote.

Looks like an interesting visit.
I'll make plans for 2019. Maybe we can get a group to meet up.

Cool avatar.
Wish I could figure a way to have Fido wag his tail.

I for one would enjoy that. If you could get Fido's tail to wag that would look cool Gene.

Maybe not exactly Fido...

OMG, the second one down in the right-hand column is identical to my granddog, Brody, and that is exactly how his tail is always going. Happiest wagger in town!
