Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History

Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, at 100 W. Broadway St., features interactive displays interpreting distinct periods in Kentucky’s history. The museum’s permanent exhibit, A Kentucky Journey, traces the state’s chronology from prehistoric times to the present. From the first Kentuckians (dating to 10,000 B.C.) through the state’s frontier and antebellum days, the Civil War and its aftermath, the beginning of the new century, the Depression era, World War II and up to the present, the exhibit depicts Kentucky’s story through artifacts, technology and sounds.

The center also houses the Martin F. Schmidt Research Library, an extensive research library housing genealogy records specific to Kentucky's families, and the interactive Hall of Governors exhibit.
