As part of our mission of education and preservation, KYGMC is introducing a bimonthly blog to enhance your KYGMC experience!
Billy Says… is inspired by none other than, Billy Hixon. Billy was the first librarian and curator for the Maysville-Mason County Library, Historical, and Scientific Association, now known as the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center. We would like to carry on Billy’s passion for community and for education through this blog!
Billy’s love for Maysville and dedication to the preservation of its history are the cornerstones of your favorite local museum. Before becoming our legendary librarian, Billy was a teacher, soldier, reporter, and editor. All these life adventures established Billy on firm footing to kick off a legendary organization—like the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center! We are thankful for the role Billy played in our history and appreciate all of YOU for supporting us for nearly 150 years!
