AIRING @ 1:30PM on KETKY: Nonprofits & History
Our newest episode, Nonprofits and History features three nonprofits supporting Kentucky’s past for the betterment of the future. In our first story we’ll take you on a tour of the Bill Monroe Birthplace, followed by the Behringer Crawford Museum, and concluding with Ashland, the Henry Clay homestead.
Known as the birthplace of Bluegrass Music, people from all 50 states and many foreign countries have come to hear the heartbeat of Kentucky. Learn what would happen without the preservation of this nonprofit, providing a musical history to future generations. Learn more about Bill Monroe, and what the state would be like without him.
The Behringer Crawford Museum houses the unique artifacts you won’t find in other places. Learn about the prehistoric Indians and ice age animals that congregated in Northern Kentucky; check out the world’s tiniest dog or a genuine shrunken head! This museum holds the artifacts that tell the story of Northern Kentucky’s settlement and development. A new attraction is the addition of the children’s nature playground. Explore the sandpit of archaeology to the ziplines that fly through history.
Ashland preserves the legacy of Henry Clay and his mansion with all of its contents. Learn how Clay became known as the great compromiser, witness reenactments of the time, and discover the early roots of Lexington, KY.
