The Clifton Community Council invites everyone to attend a video presentation of 43 historic photos of the Clifton neighborhood dating from 1894 to 1948. Many of the photos depict scenes along Frankfort Avenue along with photos from The Tollhouse and KY School for the Blind. The historic photos were acquired in 1993 from the University of Louisville Photographic Archives, Filson Club, and through donations from Clifton residents. They were originally exhibited at Clifton's Pizza from 1993 to 2019, and last year were moved to United Crescent Hill Ministries.
