The Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia

  • Frazier History Museum 829 West Main Street Louisville, KY, 40202 United States (map)
Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia Documentary

The Frazier Museum is showing The Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia, a half-hour KET production that tells the courageous story of the women hired by Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) to travel on horseback to deliver library books and magazines to people in Eastern Kentucky, braving creeks, mountains, and inclement weather along the way.

The showing coincides with the Frazier Book Club’s selection of The Book Woman’s Daughter by author Kim Michele Richardson.

The showing will be part of our Book Club experience, but will be open to the public, free with the cost of admission or membership to the museum.

Event is free in the Brown-Forman Theatre.
