Kentucky Gateway Museum Center

We got a chance to take in a movie at the Russell Theatre yesterday. It's a beautiful piece of Maysville history and still serves as a vibrant part of our local culture. Here's a little glimpse inside, but you really need to see it for yourself!

Congratulations to our friends at Maysville Community and Technical College on celebrating 50 years of caring for our (and other!) communities through their nursing program! It was a great night and we were proud to be a part of the festivities!

Here's to 50 more and beyond!

It's always exciting when we get a new addition!

KSB Miniatures Collection took possession today of an incredible piece by artist Robert Off. This room was inspired by the bat presented to commemorate the 1869 "Red Stockings" Baseball Club of Cincinnati. The original bat measured 27-feet long and was gift from a local lumber company.

Mr. Off used this unusual trophy as the inspiration for his miniature, displaying it in what he imagines the locker room may have looked like back then. As you may expect, the room is filled with intricate details, from woolen jerseys to a leather ball.

We'll post more photos soon, but the best way to experience this incredible gift is in person. Currently, it is displayed in our atrium. Come visit us soon!

Be sure to also visit Mr. Off's website for more information on this and other of his creations!

This 48-star flag is one of the newest additions to our collection at the museum. It once flew over Trinity Lutheran Church in Maysville.

This is the second longest-used flag in U.S. history - the current 50-star flag surpassed it in 2007.

Happy New Year! We are so grateful for all of the support from members, guests, staff, trustees, and etc in 2023. Here's to an even better 2024!
