Please attend a dedication ceremony for the Mentelle Neighborhood’s new Kentucky Historical Society marker at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 22, in the first median of Mentelle Park near Richmond Road. Mayor Jim Gray, Vice Mayor Steve Kay and Third District Council Member Jake Gibbs plan to be there.
After brief remarks, we will move to nearby Bell House, 545 Sayre Ave., for a short history program that includes an “interview” with our neighborhood’s senior resident, Martha Jane Stone, who has lived in the same house on Cramer Avenue since 1933. She will talk about some of her memories of the neighborhood and how it has changed over the years.
The history program will be followed at about 3 p.m. by the Mentelle Neighborhood Association’s semi-annual membership meeting.
The Kentucky Historical Society has issued a press release about our new historic marker, which you can read at this link.
