As we work behind the scenes to create an updated permanent History Hall exhibit we have added objects, documents, and information to enhance the information already contained in the exhibit. You can now view the exhibit in our main galleries and learn more about Bourbon County through the 200 years of history. See the memories of Millersburg Military Institute, learn about the aftermath of the Civil War and the changes it brought to Bourbon County, explore the history of hemp, and more!
