SPECIAL EXHIBIT – September 14, 2024 – February 15, 2025

Among Women: 130 Years of the Woman’s Club of Central Kentucky

Among Women weaves together the history of the Woman’s Club and Lexington’s social and cultural changes over more than a century. From early reform efforts to historic preservation, the exhibit traces the club and Lexington from the Progressive Era to the late 20th century. The exhibit features:

• Community changes including the establishment of the first public library, anti-spitting ordinances, and the adoption of standard time
• The influence of significant club members including Madeline McDowell Breckinridge, Lucille Caudill Little, and Loretta Brock Clark
• Artifacts once belonging to Katherine Pettit and Helen Evans as well as period style show clothing—not to be missed.

Among Women will be on display through February 15, 2025, and is included in general admission to the museum. We hope you’ll spend some time being inspired by this exhibit.

Public ribbon cutting Saturday, Sept. 14 at 1:00 pm. Admission to the museum is free on Saturday thanks to the generous support of the Woman’s Club of Central Kentucky. And don’t miss the Kentucky Humanities Chautauqua performance of Madeline McDowell Breckinridge by Kelly Brengleman, which begins at 2:00 pm in the main auditorium.
