KHS opens Revolution to Statehood exhibition From Dana Zinger Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) is pleased to announce the opening of Revolution to Statehood: Kentucky's Founding in History and Memory on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, 100 W Broadway St, Frankfort, KY. Coinciding with the nationwide celebration of America's 250th birthday, the exhibition examines familiar frontier images of Kentucky's founding, such as the coonskin cap, the frontier fort and the lone pioneer, while uncovering the complex, often violent story behind Kentucky's founding. Visitors will engage with early Kentuckians--some familiar, others less well known--including settlers, soldiers, enslaved people, indigenous leaders and frontier women whose lives reveal a far richer story than legend allows. "This exhibition invites visitors to look beyond the familiar narratives and consider Kentucky's founding as a profoundly human experience shaped by conflict, resilience and an enduring hope for a better future," said KHS Executive Director Scott Alvey. "As we approach America's 250th anniversary, it's essential that we engage with the fuller, more complex dimensions of our history--recognizing not only achievements but also the sacrifices and losses that have shaped the commonwealth we know today." Themes within the exhibit include:
The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) campus has three sites in historic downtown Frankfort: the Old State Capitol; the Kentucky Military History Museum; and the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, which serves as KHS headquarters and includes a signature museum, library & research center, object & archival collections, museum store, and more. KHS is an agency within Kentucky's Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, a Smithsonian Affiliate, and holds full accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.
