Frazier Museum

829 West Main Street

Louisville, Kentucky

In November 2022, Frazier Museum asked the Genealogy and Local History Department to help create an exhibit highlighting each of Kentucky's 120 counties. Our goal was to share what makes Henderson County unique from all the other counties. The pictures above spotlight the 120: Cool KY Counties exhibit. We look forward to collaborating with Frazier Museum on upcoming initiatives.

HELP US WIN FREE MUSEUM MEMBERSHIPS FOR EVERY HENDERSON COUNTY RESIDENT!

As part of the exhibit that opened on Friday, March 15, 2024, Frazier announced that the top five counties who get the most Frazier Weekly subscribers per capita win a free one year Frazier Museum membership for every county resident! June 1, 2024, which is Kentucky's birthday, is the final day for this friendly challenge.

The Frazier Weekly is a newsletter that comes to your email each Monday morning showcasing:

1. Frazier's exhibits and programs

2. a couple of Kentucky's 120 counties

3. interesting articles about Kentucky and her people

Check out the Bridging the Divide article by Amanda Egan from a recent edition of the Frazier Weekly: https://www.fraziermuseum.org/weekly/3-18-2024. Bridging the Divide spotlights one of Henderson's historic homes.
