1st Floor — 120: Cool KY Counties Exhibit

The 120: Cool KY Counties permanent exhibit collects hundreds of stories from across the Commonwealth—including histories, legends, and oral traditions curated at the local level. With the 250th celebration, we will provide additional stories to a variety of counties that have history specific to the start of our nation. We will work with the individual counties to help tell their own stories in this interactive exhibit.
