Come celebrate the start of another school year and learn some Kentucky history alongside other homeschool families! There will be something for everyone including access to all the Frazier’s immersive exhibitions, prize drawings, tours, craft & activity tables, and more!

In addition, families will have several opportunities to experience one of our newest educational presentations, “The Longest Painting in the World.” This 25-minute multimedia performance of music, imagery, and live storytelling is about a 19th century man named John Banvard, who painted the longest painting in the world, right here in Kentucky.

On October 21, visit the museum for an afternoon of Halloween-themed fun. From 11am–2pm, we’ll have themed activities, guests, and performances. David Domine will tell stories from his Louisville Historic Tours and Victorian Ghost Walk. We’ll have a special edition of “Dish With Tish,” with Tish Boyer (our Manager of Collections Engagement) showing-and-telling about uncanny artifacts from our collection. We’ll have family-friendly music and crafts, and we’ll conclude the afternoon with an all-ages puppet and variety show. Costumes encouraged!

Event and activity stations open at 11:00 am. Spooky Tours and Scavenger Hunts happen throughout the afternoon.

There’s so much to celebrate in the winter--including this being the first Holiday Family Day since 2019! Join us for a fun-filled day of crafts, kid-friendly tours, performances and special storytimes to celebrate the start of the holiday season. In the spirit of giving, we will be offering free admission in exchange for a toy donation to Clothe the West’s Holiday Shop.
