Drawing from his forthcoming book Benefactors of Posterity: The Founding Era of the Filson Historical Society, 1884-1899, Dr. Daniel Gifford revisits long-held assumptions about the Filson Club and discussions of the Civil War in Gilded Age Louisville.

Dr. Daniel Gifford is a public historian who focuses on American popular and visual culture, as well as museums in American culture. He received his PhD from George Mason University in 2011. His career spans both academia and public history, including several years with the Smithsonian Institution. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky, and guest-curated their 2022 exhibit "Olde England on the Ohio: Louisville's Tudor Revival."
