Program Description
Event Details
First run in 1875, the Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuously running sports event in the nation. But that’s only one reason we love it. In this lively illustrated lecture, historian Leslie Goddard will trace the history of the Kentucky Derby, looking especially at the traditions that make it so beloved. Put on your fancy hat, grab a mint julep and get ready to learn what makes the first Saturday in May so special.
