Jeffersontown Gaslight Square District – Louisville, Kentucky

A night view of the lighted entry sign to the Jeffersontown Historic Gaslight Square District, in Louisville, Kentucky.  The metal truss sign is part of a long ongoing plan to remember and bring back some of history of Jeffersontown, in particular the usage of gas powered lighting in the city’s early years. Back in the 1960’s during a renovation of the city’s town square and city hall, gas lamps were added, and this ultimately turned into a celebration of the city’s past with the annual Gaslight Festival which has been going on for more than 40 years.
