Throwing an Event? We've Got a Place for You.

The classically inspired Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History can accommodate in style and grandeur groups both small and large.

General Information

KHS can accommodate rental groups of up to 200 people (depending on the space that best suits your needs). Room amenities vary but include Wi-Fi, Ethernet, AV, teleconferencing capabilities, and dry-erase boards. KHS expects all events to harmonize with society’s character and mission. The Kentucky Historical Society reserves the right to decide whether an event is appropriate for our sites. Rentals are not available on Sundays.

  • Complete and submit the inquiry form (the KHS Facilities Rental Coordinator will follow up with rental policies and an application for KHS Facilities and Grounds)
  • Complete and submit the application (you will receive the application once we receive your completed inquiry form and determine if KHS is capable of hosting your event)
  • The KHS Facilities Rental Coordinator will provide an estimate of fees and the KHS rental contract.
