Friends of Frazier Giving Society
Friends of Owsley exemplify the spirit of philanthropy and community stewardship of our founder, Owsley Brown Frazier, whose passion as an avid collector of arms and armor brought centuries of history from around the world to Louisville, Kentucky when he first opened the museum in 2004. Today, we honor his legacy and continue his vision by telling the diverse stories of our great state – its people, places, industries, and impact. From the Founder's Collection to Cool Kentucky and The Commonwealth, the Frazier Museum is where all Kentuckians and visitors can come to learn and connect.
The renaming of our Friends of Frazier Giving Society in our 20th Anniversary year is both a nod to our esteemed founder and a step towards the future. As members of our annual giving circles, you help sustain our work and further our position as Where the world meets Kentucky.
