Frankfort, Kentucky

A place worth knowing

Make room for Frankfort.

Give Frankfort a day for state stories or an inviting art landscape. Choose a confirmed museum or house-tour opening and leave room for a local meal. The current Capitol renovation makes precise visitor information especially useful when planning the capital.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Kentucky Historical Society museums

Choose the particular History Center, Old State Capitol or military-history offering through official guidance. Confirm opening, admission and tour arrangements; the Old State Capitol is distinct from the current Capitol building.
