Cheapside Park was a block in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, between Upper Street and Mill Street. Cheapside, originally Public Square, was the town's main marketplace in the nineteenth century and included a large slave market before the Civil War.
Cheapside Park played a prominent role in the slave trade, many enslaved people sold here were moved to the lower South, or forced to work in the local areas. The local market served as a conglomerate of local slave traders, slaveholders, and other related individuals.
Cheapside Park was renamed Henry A. Tandy Centennial Park, primarily due to local displeasure with the historical context and connotation of the former name.[1] Since renamed, for previously enslaved Henry A. Tandy, it is currently home to the Lexington Farmers Market and popular events such as Thursday Night Live.
