The program and slideshow presentation includes an overview of the Revolutionary War Stations built in Jefferson County and discusses the men and women who built them and their impact on the city of Louisville.
Medina Dean is a born and raised Louisvillian, graduating first from DuPont Manual High School and YPAS. She then earned her undergraduate degree in Education from Bellarmine College, her Master’s of Education from the University of Louisville, and her Rank 1 as a Reading Specialist from IU Southeast.

Now that she is retired, she is focused on her love of Kentucky and historic preservation. She travels to historic sites throughout the Commonwealth with her daughter, husband, parents, and anyone else who will join her, while highlighting the history of those sites in her travel blog called Kentucky Historic Travels. She is writing a book that will include those various travels and hopes to have it self-published by the end of the year.
Medina is the wife of Jimmy, a Desert Storm Army veteran; the mother to Ainsley, her 17-year-old daughter; and is the daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece, and cousin to her family which means more to her than any other role.
