About Museum Row
Embark on a captivating journey through history with Museum Row, an enriching experience in the heart of Bourbon country! With one ticket, your family can explore four distinct museums that promise to engage, educate, and inspire all ages.
Start your adventure at the Civil War Museum and Women's Museum of the Civil War. These museums are renowned for being the largest and most comprehensive in the USA dedicated to the Western Theater of the Civil War. Within over 8,000 square feet of authentic exhibits, families will uncover the stories of courage and conflict between the Union and the Confederacy, spanning from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi and beyond.
The Women's Museum offers a unique glimpse into the past, celebrating the incredible achievements of women across various fields during the Civil War and the 1800s. Kids will be inspired by tales of women who made strides in medicine, journalism, civil rights, and more. This museum is a beacon of empowerment, particularly for young girls and women, and is believed to be the only one of its kind in the nation!
Next, step back in time at the Old Bardstown Village. Kids will love exploring the ten original 18th and 19th-century log structures that form a Colonial period settlement. It's a hands-on history lesson that brings to life the everyday experiences of those from eras past — and don't worry, you won't find any smartphones here!
Finally, cap off your visit with a trip to The General Hal Moore Military Museum. This museum provides an insightful look at military conflicts from the American Revolution to contemporary battles in the Middle East, with a focus on the valor of Kentuckians who served. The newly expanded World War I exhibit is a must-see, offering an eye-opening perspective for visitors.
With so much to explore, Museum Row in Bardstown invites you to lace up your walking shoes, don your thinking caps, and dive into a world where history comes alive!
