Frazier History Museum

Founded in 2004 and located in the West Main District of downtown Louisville, the Frazier History Museum is where the world meets Kentucky. An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the Frazier documents stories from history using artifacts, exhibitions, and guided tours led by a talented staff of educators. With the opening of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® Welcome Center and the Spirit of Kentucky® exhibition in 2018, the Frazier became the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. As the host of many weddings, corporate parties, and exclusive events, the Frazier is a beautiful spot with many unique event spaces. The Frazier History Museum is a nonprofit that encompasses everything Kentucky. Proceeds from memberships, admissions, group sales, facility rentals, and donations support the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs, including free or reduced admission for Title 1 students; Frazier Weekly, the “Let’s Talk: Bridging the Divide” series; summer, fall, and winter camps; guided tours, guest engagements, and Stories in Mind, which brings the Frazier into long-term care communities. Annual fundraisers include Summer Beer Fest at Frazier and the Owsley Brown Frazier Classic Sporting Clay Tournament.
