Bowling Green, Kentucky Seen Through the Eyes of Leon Garrett

The Kentucky Library & Museum has launched a new web page titled Bowling Green, Kentucky Seen Through the Eyes of Leon Garrett. The page features images of downtown Bowling Green, the city's industrial and transportation sites, and Western Kentucky University's buildings and landscapes. Leon Garrett, a long-time resident of Bowling Green, made these images between 1948 and 1951. They are truly 'snapshots' of a particular era in Bowling Green's history, complete with contemporary automobiles and fashions. The web page includes 137 slides selected from Garrett's extensive collection. Garrett brought the slides to the Kentucky Library & Museum as the result of the 'Warren County Sights and Sounds' exhibit held at the museum in 2008
