A membership to the Kentucky Historical Society not only supports our mission but gives you a full year of unlimited free admission to the Kentucky History Center and Museums and free admission to other history museums across the country.

Whether your interest in history is a lifelong passion or an occasional pastime, we believe your primary benefit of being a KHS member is knowing that you are supporting the continued preservation and exploration of Kentucky history. But there are other benefits, too:

  • Complimentary admission for members to the Kentucky History Center and Museums (including the Schmidt Research Library)
  • Online access to The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society through Project Muse
  • Invitations to members-only events, exhibition openings, and programs
  • Discounted fees for professional research in the Martin F. Schmidt Research Library
  • Discounted admission to select KHS-sponsored events
  • Discounts in the Stewart Home & School 1792 Museum Store, including KHS and University Press of Kentucky publications
