Cool Kentucky
Kentucky is home to some of America’s most talented people and the source of some of its greatest ideas. Through its arts, customs, and achievements, Kentucky boasts a unique culture that has helped change the world. In other words, Kentucky is cool.
Cool Kentucky is designed to bring the state to life in all of its many facets. It inspires thought, provides insight, and brings understanding about who we are, how we came to be, and where we can go. Those who experience it will be motivated to see Kentucky for themselves — taking in the state’s many attractions, sights, sounds, and tastes, from north to south and east to west.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is KentuckyShow!, a high-definition multimedia experience narrated by Kentucky’s own Ashley Judd.
Visitors will also get to learn the stories of Kentucky’s most fascinating figures, past and present, including astronaut Story Musgrave, ballerina Wendy Whelan, primatologist Dian Fossey, chemist Saint Elmo Brady, gravedigger King Solomon, town founder Free Frank McWhorter, Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis, outlaw Jesse James, swimmer Mary T. Meagher, ovariotomy survivor Jane Todd Crawford, and the real-life individuals after whom Aunt Jemima, Rosie the Riveter, and Colonel Sanders are modeled.
*Frazier History Museum and museum store are open to the public Thursday through Saturday, 10AM until 5PM and on Sundays from 12PM until 5PM.
