Greetings,
This morning, I had the pleasure of meeting with Jessica Dawkins, President/CEO of Historic Locust Grove, along with my good friend and former Council colleague, Deputy Mayor Nicole George.
Locust Grove is truly a hidden gem in our Metro Parks system!
We discussed ways the city can collaborate with Locust Grove in preparation for our nation's 250th celebration in 2026. The milestone is quickly approaching, and we want to ensure that the home of George Rogers Clark and the museum are in the best possible shape for the occasion.
A special thank you to Deputy Mayor George for stopping by! If you haven’t visited Locust Grove recently, I highly encourage you to do so. They host regular events, concerts, and have a breathtaking new pavilion available for gatherings and celebrations!
