In 1967 George Dreyer, Ben Baker
and Luella LeVee formed the
League to promote the arts,
heritage and culture of Northern
Kentucky. Projects included the
Duveneck display at the Covington
Library, cataloging landmarks and
original homes, a walking tour of
the riverside area and historic
preservation initiatives. Over.
Reverse Description:
The League and local residents
preserved the historic district
along Covington’s Riverside Drive
by opposing an urban renewal
project to raze the buildings to
build apartments. In 1969 the
group beautified George Rogers
Clark Park and started the annual
Duveneck Memorial Art Show,
which continues to flourish.
