We've been busy here at the Samuel Culbertson
Mansion. This site centers on our historic Bed and Breakfast home in Old
Louisville. The research on our house history, instead of ending up, and
possibly being lost again, in a file cabinet somewhere, is finding its way to
the web in a form that can be accessed and used by anyone, whether for other
research purposes or just curiosity. Topics include (or are under
development) Samuel Culbertson,
the Kentucky Derby, General Lawton and the Spanish American War.
The information on the Culbertson boys, who were well known
throughout the country a century ago as "the Two Little Knights of
Kentucky" was the seed that generated a complete new web site on Annie
Fellows Johnston and the Little Colonel, which includes several complete
books on line. The links for that site can be found below as well.
Finally, you'll find links to our lighting pages.
We've been repairing antique light fixtures for over a quarter of a century,
and now we offer an on-line catalog of our most commonly
needed parts for antique chandeliers and
lights, including prisms, bobesches, canopies, finials, and chandelier arms.
