Celebrate Juneteenth with a screening of six short films highlighting Nicodemus National Historic Site, a Western National Parks partner park. Formerly enslaved African Americans left Kentucky at the end of the post-Civil War Reconstruction era seeking freedom.

These films explore Nicodemus’ rich history and the enduring legacy carried forward by descendants who still call it home today. Not rated. Runtime: 20 minutes.
