Film Screening - Secrets of the Dead
This event is produced in partnership with KET, the Filson Historical Society, and the Shelby County Historical Society.
One of public television’s most popular series, Secrets of the Dead, brings its historical analysis to Kentucky!
The Secrets of the Dead series, which uses the latest science to challenge prevailing ideas and share fresh perspectives on historical events, investigates an incident from Kentucky history known as the “Simpsonville Massacre,” when 22 Civil War soldiers from the 5th US Colored Cavalry on a cattle drive to Louisville were ambushed and slain by outlaws.
The episode “The Civil War’s Lost Massacre,” which was co-produced by KET, revisits the events of January 25, 1865, tracing the stories of several of the Kentucky soldiers and their families with help from guest historians, two of whom hail from Kentucky: Jerry Miller, a former state legislator from Louisville, and Juanita White, a docent at the Farmington Historic Plantation in Louisville.
Admission is free, but registration is required.
