Kentucky Historical Society Announces New Public Hours

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Feb. 15, 2010)-- In an effort to be more accessible
to the public, the Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) will have new
hours of operation beginning March 1. KHS is adjusting its hours to
be open to the public on Thursday evenings and later in the day on
Fridays and Saturdays.

The new hours will affect the entire KHS history campus, which
includes the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, the Old
State Capitol and the Kentucky Military History Museum (KMHM) at the
Old State Arsenal. Both the Center for Kentucky History and the Old
State Capitol will follow the new schedule. The KMHM will only be
open for guided tours beginning March 1, as renovation work continues
on that historic building.

New hours of operation are:
    * 10 a.m. -- 4 p.m. Wednesdays
    * 10 a.m. -- 8 p.m. Thursdays
    * 10 a.m. -- 5 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays

We want to make sure that KHS is open during hours that are
convenient for both visitors and researchers, said Kent Whitworth,
executive director. This change doesnt result in either an increase
or a decrease in the total number of public hours, but we hope that
this new schedule will be more convenient for the public.

Beginning March 1, KHS will be closed to the public on Sundays,
Mondays and Tuesdays. However, KHS will continue to accommodate
scheduled school group tours on Tuesdays and will also accommodate
rental requests throughout the week.
