History of the L&N Railroad in Kentucky with a focus on the people involved

Weather permitting, the Simpson County Historical Society has a special program planned for Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 6:30 pm, at the History Center at 207 N College Street in Franklin. Dr. Miliska Knauft will present the “History of the L&N Railroad in Kentucky with a focus on the people involved.” The presentation will be on the history of the L&N Railroad with a focus on the people involved with or employed by the L&N Railroad. Say you have a family member that worked for the L&N Railroad in Kentucky. By understanding more about the history and events surrounding the L&N you may be able to capture dates and places of events that might be your family members’ life events. This could lead to information on other types of records that might be available for further research.

Since 2009, Miliska Knauft, EdD, MBA, has volunteered at the Historic RailPark & Train Museum in Bowling Green, KY, as a docent, on the Museum Committee, as a Board member, and has performed lots of ‘other duties as assigned’. Learning about railroading, especially the L&N Railroad, has been quite rewarding. Her hope is to share some of what she has learned with you. The public is invited and there is no charge.
