Kentucky Military History Museum at the Old State ArsenalRevisit the commonwealth's military history in this fortress-like building that overlooks downtown Frankfort. Built in 1850, the Old State Arsenal is now home to the Kentucky Military History Museum.
KMHM tours allow visitors to focus on the rich history of the building without being distracted by an exhibition full of artifacts. Tours include a look at the architecture, the story of the grounds, a discussion of the building's role in the Civil War and a viewing of a new Museums-to-Go exhibit and a cartridge factory table.
Estimated time: 45 minutes.
The KMHM is operated by the Kentucky National Guard and the Kentucky Historical Society.
