Presented by Old Forester and in partnership with Frazier History Museum, Churchill Downs transforms into an interactive showcase celebrating Kentucky’s rich heritage. This event is a must-attend for history buffs, music lovers, and racing enthusiasts alike, encapsulating Kentucky's rich culture, spirited music, and deep-rooted traditions. Join us for a day immersed in the true spirit of the Bluegrass State.

The Frazier History Museum strongly believes that every county possesses a unique and incredible story deserving to be shared with the rest of Kentucky (and beyond). Premised on this conviction, the 120: Cool KY Counties project has collected hundreds of stories from across the Commonwealth—including histories, legends, and oral traditions curated at the local level. As an addition to our immensely popular Cool Kentucky exhibition, we believe that by sharing these “hidden stories,” we will be able to encourage empathy, promote exploration, cultivate mutual respect, and bridge divides on the basis of Kentucky's extraordinary history and heritage.
