Tours leave from the Kentucky River View Park in downtown Frankfort and travel down the Kentucky River on a scenic trek featuring two early Kentucky historic homes, Liberty Hall and Blue Wing Landing Inn. The full-day excursion will begin at Liberty Hall with specially-brewed tea and cake, followed by a tour of the house focusing on Brown family connections to the river. Guests will then board the Frankfort Trolley and arrive at the park dock to board the brand new 20-passenger jet boat built to carry the first commercial passengers on the Kentucky River in the last 100 years, passing through multiple locks built in the 1830’s when river travel was at its peak and steamboats plied the waters.
When you or someone you love hears the words “you have cancer”…
It’s one of the darkest moments in your life.
At Light The Night, it is our aim to bring light to the darkness of cancer through research and cures. Light The Night is a series of fundraising campaigns benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) funding of research to find blood cancer cures. We bring hope instead of despair by working to ensure access to treatments for all blood cancer patients. We bring communities together to celebrate those who are fighting the disease and to honor those we have lost.
We are taking steps to end cancer. WE LIGHT THE NIGHT.
Family, friends and co-workers gather together to celebrate, honor or remember those touched by cancer. Registration is free, but walkers are encouraged to raise funds to support the mission.
