Welcome to the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center, where preservation, education, and storytelling is our mission.
The oldest Kentucky state-chartered historical organization in continuous existence. We have been collecting, preserving, and telling the story of Kentucky and the Ohio River Valley since March 1, 1878.
FIVE EXHIBITS, ONE LOCATION
By honoring our mission, we provide guests with an exceptional experience featuring dynamic collections, engaging exhibits, a comprehensive genealogical and historical research library, and the world-renowned KSB Miniature Collection.
