History of the Louisville Bahá'í Center

The Bahá'í Faith has been represented in the Louisville area since the 1920s. The original building that served as the local Bahá'í center in Louisville opened in 1965. It was sold in 1985 when the community outgrew the space. At that point, the community rented various spaces for its gatherings and held smaller events in the homes of community members.

Today's Bahá'í Center

The current Bahá'í Center on Bardstown Road was purchased in November 1998, renovated during the following year, and officially dedicated on November 12, 1999.  The new Bahá'í Center also underwent a major renovation during the summer of 2009.

"Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountain, and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of God hath been made, and His praise glorified." -Bahá'u'lláh
