Morrison Park Graces the Cover of New Traces Magazine

Morrison Park, and Henry Clay Morrison, graces the cover of the new Traces Magazine 2018, Vol.46, Issue 2 . Bewley's painting of "Preachers At Old Camp Meeting," recently received honors in the US Bank Celebration of the Arts. This year was the largest exhibit ever with over 400 entries. All entries are judged and awards were given in eight categories. Bewley won second place in the amateur division. The painting is the sixth prepared as an exhibit for Morrison Park.The painting shows the pulpit area of the original Tabernacle at the Park. Along with Morrison, the painting also shows over 20 of the earliest preachers to preach at Morrison Park.
Professor Nancy Richey at WKU's Kentucky Library, and also a board member at the park, researched and was able to obtain histories and photographs of many ministers who preached there. The ministers in the painting were never all there at one time, but it was for Bewley a great way to depict the old tabernacle and at the same time honor some of the ministers that labored there.
The painting depicts Morrison as he appeared about 1909. He is standing front and center.The other preachers,(and noting at least one of the years they were at the park for the yearly two week revival), are left to right, Front row, Evang. J.B.
