Local History Week: These Stories are Unbelievable!

Presented by Jacqueline Hamilton
From Shaker Village to snake handlers, the people of Kentucky have strong roots in their quest to worship. America's first camp meeting was in Kentucky. The national headquarters for Race Track Chaplains boasts a home here. Kentucky was the stomping grounds of preacher Mordecai Ham, the spiritual granddaddy of Billy Graham. And let's not forget the Commonwealth has both a basilica with the world's largest handmade stained-glass window and an abbey where monks live in contemplation and make fantastic fudge. This overview of the history of religion in Kentucky is told through the stories of its settlers and citizens. An Exclusive Presentation of Kentucky Humanities.
