Desk Belonging To Helen Keller On Display In Kentucky

American Printing House For The Blind

A writing desk belonging to Helen Keller is on display in Kentucky at the American Printing House for the Blind Museum.

News outlets report the desk is on loan to the Louisville museum from the American Foundation for the Blind. Keller worked at the foundation for 44 years. Keller, who was deaf and blind, was an author, lecturer and political activist.

Museum director Mike Hudson said the museum wants visitors to consider the work Keller did at the desk and how creativity comes about.

The museum is open Monday through Saturday. The desk is expected to be on display through next summer.
