Membership

Why become a member?


Our members make it possible for KHS to provide quality programs, add to museum and library collections, and share our state’s distinctive history. Your membership dues help assure that KHS continues to be a responsible steward of Kentucky’s rich heritage.

It’s our members that keep our organization growing. Through your continued investment in the Kentucky Historical Society we can use the power of history to help meet the needs of this Commonwealth!

A KHS membership is perfect for anyone interested in supporting and helping the Kentucky Historical Society achieve its mission of providing connections to the past, perspective on the present and inspiration for the future.

So whether your interest in history is a lifelong passion or an occasional pastime, we believe the primary benefit of being a KHS member is to support the continued preservation and exploration of Kentucky history.

To become a member of the Kentucky Historical Society or to renew your current membership, contact Julia Curry at 502-564-1792, ext. 4414 or julia.curry@ky.gov.

The Kentucky Historical Society, an agency of the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, is fully accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
