Celebrate Juneteenth with the Oldham County History Center! The Juneteenth Celebration is free and open to the community.

The Oldham County History Center is hosting a Juneteenth Celebration this weekend on Saturday, June 15th. The free event is 10:00am-6:00pm in Downtown LaGrange.

Start the day hearing all about Juneteenth and Oldham County history.  There is a long list of speakers and performances during the day. Vendors will also be present along with a few food trucks.  

Children’s Activity Stations will be set up during the event. Activities include Barnyard Fun, caricatures, bounce houses, firetruck visits and more.

All activities take place on the Oldham County History Center campus except for the Hidden History Walk through African American neighborhoods.  All activities are free except for the Hidden History Walk, which is $5 per person.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The celebration started in 1864 in Galveston, Texas. We love that the Oldham County community is invited to learn more about the history of the day and our city. The Oldham County History Center is located at 106 N. Second Street in LaGrange.
