Once you’ve lived Kentucky, it never really leaves you.
You can move away, trade horse farms for highways, bluegrass for something else, and tell yourself home is wherever you are now. But Kentucky has a way of staying with you.
It’s in the way rolling hills still calm your mind. In how a backroad feels more honest than a freeway. In the comfort of front porches, small towns, and sunsets that stretch soft across the fields.
It’s hearing a little bluegrass and feeling something shift. It’s knowing bourbon is more than a drink, basketball is more than a game, and Derby season is more than just a date on the calendar.
Kentucky isn’t loud about who it is. It doesn’t need to be.
It lives in the pride, the grit, the manners, the memories, and the feeling that no matter how far you go, part of you still belongs there.
Because Kentucky isn’t just where you’re from. It’s part of who you are.
Once a Kentuckian, always a Kentuckian. 🐎🌄🥃

We are so excited to invite you to participate in our "Once Upon a Quilt" matching game! We have 26 beautiful, handmade quilts on display, each created by the talented Paula Eads.

Each quilt is inspired by a classic children’s book. Your mission is to see if you can match the quilt to the story it represents!

How to Play:
1. Grab a matching worksheet at the front desk.
2. Explore the books to find all 26 quilts.
3. Turn in your completed sheet when you're finished!

The Grand Prize:
Anyone who correctly matches all 26 quilts to their books will be entered into a drawing to win a handmade, child-sized quilt crafted by Paula Eads herself!

We can't wait to see who gets a perfect score!
