The Frazier Kentucky History Museum is where the world meets Kentucky. As our founder, Owsley Brown Frazier said, "by reconnecting with our past, we can renew a sense of who we are, what we stand for, and where we are headed."
Voted ‘Best Museum’ in 2025 by readers of Kentucky Living, we are an award-winning institution that shares the diverse people, places, and stories that make us who we are. History belongs to everyone, so we want people of all backgrounds and ages to see themselves in the stories we tell. To feel welcome and to participate in conversations that illuminate our common ground and bridge our divides. Through educational exhibitions, programs, and outreach, we are committed to the preservation and presentation of our state's history and culture.
As a vibrant community institution for tourists and locals alike, the Frazier Kentucky History Museum is a powerful contributor to cultural revitalization within the Greater Louisville Area and the Commonwealth. As cultural leaders, we believe it is our obligation to reaffirm our sense of community and connection by educating, entertaining, and sparking the curiosity of our visitors. Your support helps us mean more to more people every day.
