Libraries, schools, historical societies, museums, and community organizations throughout Kentucky are invited to host Kentucky During the American Revolution, a traveling collection of educational panels designed to inspire curiosity, conversation, and a deeper understanding of the Commonwealth's history.

The exhibition connects familiar landscapes and local histories with the larger story of America's founding. Whether displayed in a school library, community center, museum, or public gathering space, the panels offer an accessible way for visitors of all ages to learn about the people, places, and events that helped make Kentucky what it is today.

The exhibition is especially well suited for classroom instruction, educational programming, local history events, and community celebrations commemorating America's and the Commonwealth’s 250th anniversary.

Kentucky During the American Revolution brings these stories to life through a traveling educational exhibition exploring Kentucky's role in the Revolutionary era and the events that helped shape its future.

History is all around us—in the landscapes we inhabit, the places we call home, and the stories passed down. Understanding how Kentucky came to be the place we know today begins with discovering the people, events, and experiences that shaped its past.

From the Indigenous peoples who lived on and maintained ties to these lands long before Kentucky became a state, to the arrival of settlers, competing claims to territory, Revolutionary War conflicts, and the road to statehood, the exhibition invites visitors to discover the complex and interconnected stories of Kentucky's early days.
