Robert Williams Cultural Center
Lexington, Kentucky
In 2018, I worked with the Board of the Robert Williams Cultural Center to create a strategic plan outline for their historic building and organization.
Their organization oversees the historic Robert H. Williams Cultural Center at 644 Georgetown Street in Lexington, KY. The building was formerly the Lexington Colored Orphan Industrial Home from 1892-1980. Robert H. Williams, a farmer, was a trustee of the orphan home, and he left the bulk of his estate to the home. In 1980, the name of the home was changed to the Robert H. Williams Children's Home, and in 1988, when there were no longer any children at the home, the name was changed to the Robert H. Williams Cultural Center.
