Curator’s Chat: Harlan Hubbard Studio and Nature Preserve

Join BCM Curator of Collections Jason French as he visits the home and restored art studio of the man known to many as the "Thoreau of Kentucky."

Katie Mills

I grew up in Fort Thomas and attended Highlands. I have very fond memories of my dad, Bill Thomas, and his love for this town and the woods. While I was in elementary school, he made the Landmark Tree Trail in Tower Park. We were always exploring the woods and measuring trees together. He instilled the love of our planet in me. I followed in his footsteps and attended Transylvania University and then Georgetown College for my Masters. I now reside in Fort Thomas with my husband, Collier, and three children: Kaylee age 12, Collier age 10, and Mac age 3. We spend our time at our kids' sports games and enjoy family movie nights, and love to hike through the many trails in our parks here in Fort Thomas.
