Culbertson Mansion Site Map

This site centers on our historic Bed and Breakfast home in Old Louisville.  The research on our house history, instead of being lost in a file cabinet somewhere, has found its way to the web, whether for research or just curiosity.  Topics include Samuel Culbertson, the Kentucky Derby, General Lawton and the Spanish American War.

The information on the Culbertson boys, who were well known throughout the country a century ago as "the Two Little Knights of Kentucky" was the seed that generated a complete new web site on Annie Fellows Johnston and the Little Colonel, which includes several complete books online.  The links for that site can be found below as well.

You'll a;sp find links to our lighting pages.  We've been repairing antique light fixtures for over a quarter of a century and now we offer an online catalog of our most commonly needed parts for antique chandeliers and lights, including prisms, bobesches, canopies, finials, and chandelier arms.
