The Annie Fellows Johnston Room

This room is named for the popular 19th Century author of books for young people (and the young at heart).  Her fondness for the Culbertson children led her to adopt them as the characters Malcolm and Keith, the "Two Little Knights of Kentucky," who play a significant role throughout the Little Colonel stories

The room is furnished with mid to late Victorian Kentucky antiques and has a private Victorian tile and marble bath. In the room you will find mementos of Mrs. Johnston and the "Two Little Knights of Kentucky," including a complete vintage set of the Little Colonel books, and a portrait given by another friend of the Culbertson's, Henry Watterson, the influential 19th Century Pulitzer Prize winning editor of The Courier-Journal
