Plan Your Visit

Visitors first get the feeling the Lexington History Museum is a different experience when start up our grand entry stairway and see we have our own racing silks! 
In the Bluegrass thoroughbred owners take great pride in the design and color of their jockey’s silks – a unique symbol of each owner’s pride in their heritage.  So our owners -- Museum members and citizens of the Bluegrass  --  take pride in our own green and white silks emblazoned with “LHM” when welcoming our guests to our museum and historical society.  That pride, by the way, has just been encouraged a bit as we have been named Kentucky’s “Outstanding History Museum and Organization for 2006”.

When to Visit:
Thanks to our enthusiastic cadre of volunteers the Museum is open regular hours Friday through Monday as well as an hour before all our Programs and virtually any time for scheduled tours by school and other groups.  The Friday-Monday hours are noon until 4:00 p.m. with an early opening on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

Call for a Group Visit

We try awfully hard to meet the schedule of school and youth groups so give us a call at 859/254-0530.

 Thanks to the generosity of our members and donors the Lexington History Museum is able to share our heritage with local citizens and visitors at no admission cost.  Of course, we welcome donations and they are fully tax deductible as allowed by law.
