Gary Falk of the Louisville Historical League gathers more than one hundred historic photographs and a collection of articles on the people, places, and events that shaped Louisville, from homespun industries and pipe organs to top-secret World War II aircraft testing.
Rather than a single narrative, the book unfolds as a scrapbook of local lore — one-cent chocolate bars, thriving downtown theaters, and thunderous fireworks displays — offering longtime residents a nostalgic, image-rich look back at the city’s past.
