In the future, Walter said she’d like to pursue more STEM activities for The Inspired Child. “Some kids in the community aren’t going to make it to Louisville or have access to these things, so bringing that aspect to our small town and also bringing people from other places to our town is a really nice addition to having the shop here in Corydon,” she said. Apart from The Inspired Child, Walter also hosts Cinema on Chestnut, which is an outdoor family movie event. After starting in 2022, these have become a local hit with food trucks, games, sensory pools and local vendor booths.
