Louisville, KY. – Whitehall House & Gardens is pleased to announce that it will host its fourth annual Garden Party at the historic mansion at 3110 Lexington Road on Friday, June 12. The festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction in the formal garden, followed by a seated dinner under the tent on the garden terrace. The dinner will be followed by live music courtesy of Kudmani.

Individual tickets to the Garden Party are $200 per person. Tickets for the event may be purchased at www.historicwhitehall.org/gardenparty2026. Sponsors of this year’s event include Bartlett Wealth  Management; Karen and Michael Cronan; Dwyer DesignScapes; Highland Cleaners; J. Kathryn Interiors;  Laura Rice & Associates, Lenihan Sotheby’s; Northdwell; Stites & Harbison; and Sterling Thompson Company.

Whitehall House & Gardens

Proceeds from the Garden Party will benefit Whitehall House & Gardens, a historic home owned and operated by the nonprofit Historic Homes Foundation. The mansion began its life in the 1850s as an Italianate farmhouse. After extensive renovations in 1909, the house was transformed into the Classical Greek Revival-style mansion known today as Whitehall. Its collection features original gaslight fixtures and French and American antiques. Guided tours are offered Monday-Friday, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s gardens have become the primary focus of its educational outreach, offering unique opportunities for both the amateur and professional horticulturalist. Throughout the year the public is invited to participate in workshops, lectures, and tours – all inspired by Whitehall’s special collection of trees and plants. A small, but ever-growing arboretum features over 500 trees, including a rare specimen collection that has become an important resource for propagation of interesting species. Whitehall’s woodland garden, a Victorian stumpery nestled in a wooded corner of the grounds, presents a regionally unprecedented collection of ferns and other woodland plants. Not only a popular tour destination for garden clubs and other horticultural groups, the garden has received national recognition as an official display garden of the Hardy Fern Foundation. The gardens are open to the public free of charge from sunup to sundown 7 days per week all 12 months of the year.

Solarize Louisville launched its fifth program on April 22, offering discounted, vetted solar installations for homeowners, small businesses, and non‑profits, including places of worship. Since its inception, the program has supported over 300 installations across Jefferson and surrounding counties, totaling 3.1 MW of rooftop solar—which has the generation equivalent of roughly 5% of Louisville Metro Government’s annual electricity use across operations.

The program has also generated approximately $9.6 million in local economic impact for family‑owned and small businesses. With an average project size of about $30,000, we often compare the investment to purchasing a used car—except unlike a car, solar doesn’t depreciate. Most participants see a 7–12-year payback, and the equipment installed through Solarize carries 25–30-year warranties, creating long‑term savings many families ultimately redirect toward college‑fund money or other generational investments.

The program runs through October 1. These sessions are especially valuable for small businesses and non‑profits, which can access both the Solarize discount and the 30% federal tax credit, significantly reducing upfront costs.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a workshop, please feel free to reach out. Additional information is available at SolarizeLouisville.com.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is encouraging residents to participate in a public survey focused on reconnecting Central Portland to the riverfront.

The project aims to improve connections across I-64 and better integrate the highway corridor with the surrounding neighborhoods. Proposed improvements are intended to create safer, more convenient access to essential services and local destinations for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike.

The overall effort includes four key focus areas:

• 22nd Street / I-64 interchange improvements
• Improved access to Lannan Park and McAlpine Locks
• Highway edge treatments along the I-64 right-of-way
• New pedestrian bridge concepts

Community feedback will help shape future planning and priorities for the project. Residents are encouraged to review the concepts and share their thoughts through the public survey linked in the button below.

You may have recently seen news coverage about a hantavirus outbreak linked to an international cruise ship. While it’s natural to feel concerned when hearing about a new or unfamiliar illness, there are some important facts that can help put this situation into perspective.

First, the most important message for our community

The risk to residents in Louisville and Jefferson County remains extremely low.

• There are no confirmed cases of hantavirus (Andes virus strain) in Louisville, Jefferson County, or anywhere in Kentucky.
• There are no individuals currently being monitored locally for hantavirus exposure related to the cruise ship outbreak.
• Individuals who may have been exposed to the virus on the cruise ship are being carefully monitored in other states by public health officials.

“Our health department is closely tracking this situation and working in coordination with state and federal partners,” said Connie Mendel, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) and Chief Health Strategist.

What is hantavirus?

“Hantaviruses are a group of viruses that are primarily carried by rodents. People typically become infected through contact with infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva,” said Dr. Kris Bryant, pediatric infectious disease specialist and associate medical director for LMPHW.

“In the United States and the Americas, hantaviruses can cause a serious illness called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), which affects the lungs and can become severe.

Although hantavirus infections can be serious, it is important to remember that they are rare.”

What is the Andes virus and the cruise ship outbreak?

The outbreak in the news involves a specific type of hantavirus called the Andes virus, which is most commonly found in parts of South America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO):

• The Andes virus is responsible for a small cluster of cases linked to a cruise ship in 2026.
• The rodents that carry this virus are not found in the United States.
• Public health officials assess that the risk to the U.S. public is extremely low.
• Investigations are ongoing, and international public health agencies are monitoring and responding to the situation.

How does it spread?

“Most hantavirus infections occur through contact with rodents—not from other people,” said Dr. Bryant.

• The virus spreads when people breathe in air contaminated with rodent droppings, urine, or saliva.
• In rare cases, the Andes virus can spread from person to person, but only with close contact with someone who is sick.

“Importantly, hantaviruses do not spread easily between people, and transmission is very different from more contagious respiratory viruses,” she added.

How this differs from COVID-19

It’s understandable that news of an outbreak may bring back concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, hantavirus is very different:

• Hantaviruses are not new and have been studied for decades.
• Scientists already understand how they spread and where they are found.
• The Andes virus involved in this outbreak does not naturally occur in the United States.
• It does not spread easily between people.

Public health experts emphasize that this is not a widespread global threat, and the risk to the public remains low.

Our local response and preparedness

“Our health department is actively monitoring developments and is in regular communication with state and federal public health partners,” Mendel said. “If a case were identified in our area, we are prepared to respond quickly using standard public health practices, including:

• Investigating how the individual became ill.
• Identifying and reaching out to close contacts.
• Providing guidance to prevent further spread.

These are the same proven steps we use every day to help keep our community safe.”

Stay informed, share accurate information

Hearing about an outbreak can be stressful. The good news is that:

• Hantavirus infections are rare.
• The current outbreak is limited and being closely monitored.
• Your risk locally remains extremely low.

Staying informed through trusted sources and public health updates is the best way to protect yourself and your family.

The Dot Experience Showcases Inclusive Design Vision on Global Accessibility Awareness Day

To help celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), The Dot Experience hosted a media event highlighting how its retail shop and museum are intentionally designed with accessibility and inclusion at the forefront. Lisa Echsner, Senior Director of Advancement Initiatives, and Erin Gibbons, The Dot Experience Operations Manager, shared insights during interviews about the importance of inclusive design and creating welcoming, engaging spaces for all visitors.

The entire attraction is being developed to provide an accessible and inclusive experience for guests of all abilities, encouraging hands-on exploration and interaction with the artifacts. The Dot Experience retail space will also feature accessibility-focused enhancements, including braille on merchandise tags to help guests independently identify product sizes, colors, and other important details. These thoughtful features reflect The Dot Experience’s commitment to ensuring every visitor can fully participate in and enjoy the experience.

Observed each year on the third Thursday in May, Global Accessibility Awareness Day promotes digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities. The day encourages communities, businesses, schools, and organizations to consider how technology, websites, apps, and online content can be designed to be accessible to everyone.

Image description: Lisa shows two TV photographers examples of tags that will go on products sold in the retail shop.

The pedestrian walkway at Clifton and Weikel across the railroad tracks is temporarily closed while CSX conducts maintenance work, including the replacement of railroad ties. At this time, the asphalt has been fully removed on both sides of the tracks.

For pedestrian access, individuals may walk to Frankfort and Weikel and use the sidewalk in front of Cunningham Overhead Door and Window to reach N. Clifton.

Please note that no estimated completion date has been provided for this work. We appreciate your patience and understanding while these improvements are underway.

Note from the CCC.

After investigating the sewer and stormwater drainage lines on N. Galt Avenue, MSD has found several blockages that will be fixed through point repairs and pipe rehabilitation. The work is underway and is expected to be complete by the end of summer. 

Here’s the latest news:

• Work has resumed after a short break for the Kentucky Derby and to accommodate a neighbor’s move. Two new point repairs have been recently completed, and work is currently happening at 119 N. Galt Ave.
• An MSD contractor will continue making point repairs along the street. Traffic will go down to one lane near the work. Street parking may be reduced near the work. 

After all point repairs are complete, Robinson Pipe Cleaning will line the storm and sanitary sewers with Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP), which is a quick and trench-less process that will add 50 to 100 years to the lifespan of the pipes. Before the contractor leaves, restorative ground and asphalt work will be done
