Unveiling of the Judge Tom Emberton statue Nov 2

From Kim Harwood, Executive Director
Edmonton Metcalfe County Chamber of Commerce

The Edmonton-Metcalfe County Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the unveiling of the Judge Tom Emberton statue at 1:30pmCT on Sunday, November 2, 2025, honoring an individual who was a noted leader and stateman serving his country, the commonwealth, and community his entire adult life.

The Emberton statue, created by internationally recognized sculptor and an eighth-generation Kentuckian, Amanda Matthews, is a life-size bronze sculpture capturing Judge Emberton in his judicial robes while holding the Constitution of the United States.

Chief Justice (Ret) Laurance VanMeter once said, "I consider Tom Emberton a great, great man. I have had a number of wonderful mentors in my career who taught me how to be a lawyer and how to be a judge, but I feel like I learned something more from Tom Emberton: how to carry oneself with honor, grace, and dignity...he exemplified the qualities to which all public officials should aspire."

This monument honors a man who continued to touch Metcalfe County and its citizens for over fifty years. The unveiling ceremony will take place at the Tom Emberton Metcalfe County Courthouse in Edmonton, Kentucky, and is open to the public.
