The WVGS Education Committee is planning a three-day research trip to Kentucky in November. The dates are November 9th, 10th and 11th. Transportation will be arranged by Karen Juson.
Located in downtown Frankfort, Ky., the Kentucky Historical Society history campus includes the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, the Old State Capitol and the Kentucky Military History Museum. Regular Schedule: Wednesdays: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. EST Thursdays: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Trace your family's roots in the Martin F. Schmidt Research Library, the commonwealth's premiere genealogical research library, and benefit from the expertise of professional staff who can help guide you in your own family research.
Special Collections manages five collection programs including manuscripts, maps, oral history, photographs and rare books. These collections document most of the major issues in the commonwealth's past, as well as the day-to-day lives of Kentuckians.
