Bobby, Martin and John: Once Upon an American Dream
Be Inspired! The Frazier International History Museum invites you on a righteous trip back to the days of the cultural and political awakening that was the 1960s. This temporary exhibition displays an inspirational collection of 150 photographs from the archives of Look Magazine photographer Stanley Tretick. You'll be jazzed as the Frazier Museum is transformed with music, media, objects and artifacts evocative of this wonderful yet turbulent time of American history. The exhibition documents this idealistic era through the lives, courage and struggles of three of America's greatest leaders: Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy, all of whom were assassinated as they campaigned on behalf of the American people. The Frazier Museum is honored to present this exhibit during the 40th Anniversary of the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. For More Information: Paddy DeGeorge Exhibits and Programs Coordinator pdegeorge@fraziermuseum.org Phone: (502) 753-1683 |

Help Us Tell the Stories and Memories of WWII
The Frazier International History Museum Needs Your Story! The Museum is creating an exhibition on the roles Louisville and Kentucky played in World War II and the impact of the war on Kentuckians, to be on display beginning October 2009. Your stories, as service men or women, as medical corps members, as civil defense members, or as home front heroes, are vital components of this exhibition.

Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit
"I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky,"--Abraham Lincoln. The Frazier hosts Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit September 28, 2008 through January 19, 2009 as part of the Lincoln Bicentennial. Liberty on the Border is unique from other Civil War exhibits because it focuses specifically on the border relationship between Kentucky and Ohio with a look at the Ohio River as not only a physical border between the two states, but also a dividing line between North and South—“free” and “slave.” Liberty on the Border puts the causes, effects and meaning of the war in more personal terms due in part to a special emphasis on non-military events and civilian contributions. Separated into three major areas—Liberty Denied, Liberty’s Trial: The War Years, and Liberty’s Legacy—Liberty on the Border is a hands-on exhibit that includes documents and photographs, touchable replicas, diaries and interactive displays that allow visitors the chance to interpret their own meaning of the Civil War and experience what life was like for those living on both sides of the border.
