Absolutely fantastic FREE museum (With donations highly encouraged - And rightly so!) with tons of history inside of it. There are two floors with displays in them, the first being a little bit older, but he second floor is where this place really shines. The layout and presentation are gorgeous.If youre driving through Glasgow and need a place to drop in for a few hours to walk, this is your destination.

Very neat little museum. Exhibits are plentiful and have many neat artifacts and donations. Only complaint was the kids area, gift shop and restroom being closed. Difficult to take kids with those areas being unavailable.

Glasgow has a real treasure in this place. The staff, volunteers and community have gone above and beyond to preserve the history and heritage of their home. Now anyone can take a trip to the past and experience what makes a community.

We visited this museum today. It is AWESOME! Things are displayed in rooms that they would have been found in and no detail is overlooked. The printed information at the displays is very informative and I learned a lot. This is truly a gem of a museum and admission is donation. We highly recommend a visit.

A wonderful place to see local history and do local genealogy research. They are building a lovely place to learn and see things from your childhood if youre in your retirement years like me.

I stumbled upon this museum while exploring in town. It was closed when I arrived and my window of time to visit was small! The lovely lady inside came out and offered to let me tour the facility and told me a brief history of the area. It was a positive experience and I can not wait to take my children there to enjoy the facility!

This Museum located in the heart of Glasgow, Kentucky is incredible! 3 stories of history focused on different periods throughout history. The military floor is a must see! Well worth your time. Each time I have visited I notice something different that I overlooked before. So much to see and explore. Great for all ages.
