Join us for an evening with Jessica K. Whitehead as she shares the fascinating life story of Kentucky writer, artist, and sustainability pioneer Harlan Hubbard.

Drawing from rare archival materials and her new comprehensive biography, Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard, Whitehead distills Hubbard’s vision for living a unique existence of simplicity and wild beauty and provides new insights into his character and legacy. 

The event is free and open to the public. Copies of Driftwood will be available for purchase and a book signing will be held following the lecture. 

RSVPs are appreciated.
