Kentucky Historical Society
The Kentucky Historical Society is many things: a museum, a library, an educational institution, a research center. We oversee two historic sites and protect a treasure trove of documents and artifacts for the public. But at the heart of it all, we’re a far-reaching network of people devoted to exploring and preserving Kentucky’s rich and fascinating past, and using the power of history to improve life today.

Kentucky Humanities Council
Telling Kentucky's story.... More than just history, by Kentucky's story we mean Kentucky's writers, inventors, judges, musicians, architects, doctors – in short, the contributions from every walk of life to the quality of life in Kentucky. We recognize a need to build civic engagement as well as literacy, and we want to involve all ages and all places from Pine Knot to Princeton. Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone can learn from the stories of others. These stories, taken together, are the stories of our communities, our counties, our regions, and our unique Kentucky culture and heritage.
