Cover of the program for the June 5, 2010 Kentucky Confederate Home event. The program was designed by Pewee Valley Historical Society member Shelley Schippert and included content written by both Rusty Williams and Donna Russell.

On June 5, 2010, a visit to Pewee Valley by author Rusty Williams, who had just published "My Old Confederate Home: A Respectable Place for Civil War Veterans," prompted the Pewee Valley Historical Society to sponsor a special observance of Confederate Memorial Day at the Confederate Burying Ground in Pewee Valley Cemetery. The observance included:

The 106th decoration of the graves at the cemetery with a keynote address by Williams;
A photo exhibit of the Kentucky Orphan Brigade sponsored by the United Daughters of the Confederacy;
An authentic Civil War lunch at the Pewee Valley Presbyterian Church, along with book signings by Rusty Williams;
Showings of the Pewee Valley oral history project at Town Hall;
Tours of Sunnyside/Edgewood;
Tours of Confederate Hill, former site of the Kentucky Confederate Home, located about a mile away from the cemetery; and
Louisville Dulcimer Society performance at the Little Colonel Playhouse.

Three videos featuring different aspects of the day-long event were produced by Louisville-based family history documentarian Leo Osborne, owner of LeoCast.com.
