Let's go learn about our past.

Join the Kentucky Heritage Council - SHPO, Frankfort’s Capital City Museum, and the City of Frankfort, KY City Government for this fun and educational Kentucky Archaeology Month event.

We’ll be hosting Archaeology in Action at Cove Springs Park on September 13rh from 10am-12pm. This FREE event caters to students from 3rd – 6th grade, but all are welcome.

Please register in advance at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1999122562399?aff=oddtdtcreator.


Archaeology In Action provides an opportunity for children between third and sixth grade to learn more about the practice and science of archaeology, by working through artifact documentation and inquiry. During this activity, children will work within units in a grid-system to learn the significance of looking at artifacts within the context of the site in its entirety. This event was generated by the Kentucky Heritage Council and the Kentucky Historical Society and is brought to you by partnership among the City of Frankfort Planning and Development staff, Architectural Review Board, Capital City Museum, and the Kentucky Heritage Council.

These are an excellent experience! Check it out!

NEW Collection! We're adding Experience Passes to the Library -- check out a pass for free admission to a local museum or attraction!

Each Experience Pass not only includes admission for you and your family, but also information about the attraction, so you can plan your visit. Passes check out for one week (no renewals) and can be placed on hold. Only one Experience Pass per family at a time, please. Just ask at the Check Out Desk!

Our first five Experience Passes will be to the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington Children’s Museum, Liberty Hall Historic Site, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, and Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary. We plan to add more Experience Passes as we grow this collection. 

You can see the collection and get on the holds lists here: https://www.pspl.org/experience-pass
