Belle Brezing

Belle's "bawdy houses"

In July 1881, Brezing rented a house at 156 North Upper Street

Brezing is commemorated annually in Lexington by a bed race in April. Several of the city's streets are closed to make a course for the race.

Margaret C. Price wrote a play about Brezing, titled Belle Brezing. It was performed at the Lost Theatre in Los Angeles during the summer of 2008. In 2011, Lexington's Actors Guild Theatre presented the play. Laurie Genet Preston, the actress who played Brezing, previously played this role in a 2004 presentation of the play at the University of Kentucky.

Director and producer Doug High made a documentary about Brezing's life: Belle Brezing & the Gilded Age of the Bluegrass. The documentary was narrated by Elizabeth Shatner (wife of William Shatner), and Brezing again was played by Laurie Genet Preston. The film premiered at the Kentucky Theatre Lexington on February 16, 2017.
