Calvert Gallery

Our Changing Exhibit Hall

Named for long-time association trustee and devotee of all aspects of American history, Jean W. Calvert. Jean took on the role of finding a myriad of early area artifacts now seen in the Wormald gallery. Simply put, it was her efforts that allowed the creation of Wormald display cases.

The Calvert Exhibits Gallery is 2,000 square feet of space that hosts temporary exhibits from across the country and from our own collections.

James Wormald, a prominent local hat merchant, believed that preservation and education were foundational to a thriving community. With his generous donation in 1878, the Maysville-Mason County Library, Historical, and Scientific Association was formed. “The Association,” as we call it, much later became known by an additional name— The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center (KYGMC).
