Where education meets enrichment!

Field Trips

Field trips are many students favorite part of their educational experience. The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center is a perfect location for a class field trip for student in all grades. The purpose of the trip is usually observation for education, to provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities. KGMC offers just that. From our permanent Regional History Exhibits, and Research Library, the KSB Miniatures Collection – where you can explore worlds within worlds, to the Changing Exhibits Gallery – where there is always something new, the Museum Center puts forth an educational experience that will be remembered always!

Museum Scouts

The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center provides the very successful Museum Scouts after school enrichment program for fourth grade students interested in local history and our museum. The program introduces students to local history, the Civil War in Kentucky, basic photography, archaeology, oral history, genealogy, River Works Discovery, and the Kathleen Savage Browning Miniatures Gallery.

They participate in a “behind the scenes” look at KYGMC special collections and a miniatures hands-on workshop. Scouts complete their program with a field trip to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati.
