PROGRAMS AND WORKSHOPS

PROGRAM FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10

"Peggy Chenoweth: Early Kentuckian" presented by Connie Guthrie

Connie Guthrie is a life-long resident of Middletown, Kentucky and has always been interested in history, even winning a scholarship to the University of Louisville as a result of a radio quiz show about history. In spite of this, she had never heard of the trials of the Chenoweth family until after her marriage.

She married Blaine Guthrie, an advertising man who also had an interest in history and did know about the Chenoweths and many other local historical topics. He was the first to make her aware of the tie-in of the Lincoln family with Jefferson County years before the President was born. Blaine and his brother Mike started the Massacre Trail for hiking and history in the 1960’s.

Some of you may be Scouts or Scouters who had troops that hiked the twelve miles of the trail over the 30 years it existed as a scouting event. During those years Connie told the story many times and finally decided to do a first-person interpretation of “Peggy Chenoweth”. She will answer questions after the presentation.
