Filson Day at Oxmoor | Members Only

Join the Filson Historical Society for an immersive experience into the long-lasting relationship between Oxmoor Farm and The Filson Historical Society. This unique opportunity serves as an open house for Filson members to tour the rooms of the Bullitt family home and grounds that are not normally open to the public.  Visitors will be able to learn about Kentucky bourbon history and sample the Oxmoor bourbon. The Oxmoor Library will showcase documents from the Bullitt family collection that are normally stored at the Filson.

Oxmoor resident Thomas W. Bullitt was one of the Filson’s ten charter members, and the relationship between Oxmoor and the Filson has remained close since 1884. The Filson holds the extensive Bullitt family manuscript and photo collections. Through collaborative partnerships, those papers have been used to reconnect descendants of people enslaved at Oxmoor to one another and their ancestors as well as to develop tour material for the Oxmoor Bourbon Company.
