One of Kentucky’s most influential statesmen is coming to Marion for Legacy of Liberty.

Join us for a special Chautauqua presentation by the Kentucky Humanities Council as actor Kevin Hardesty brings Henry Clay to life on the stage of Fohs Hall.

Known as “The Great Compromiser,” Clay played a pivotal role in shaping the young nation and helping preserve the Union during some of its most challenging years.

Through this engaging first-person portrayal, you'll hear the story of a man who served Kentucky and the nation for decades, earning a reputation as one of America's greatest orators and statesmen.
