To celebrate the complete restoration of the State Arsenal (and home of The Kentucky Military History Museum), The Kentucky Historical Society asked for the creation of a touchscreen interactive that would share the deeper stories of Kentucky’s Veterans.
The Kentucky Military Treasures Online Exhibition does just that, showcasing the extraordinary lives and military stories of 9 Kentuckians who served their state and country with pride. Focusing on veterans from the War of 1812 all the way up to current deployment in Afghanistan, a visitor can see personal objects, listen to firsthand accounts, and watch video of the experiences of these brave men and women.
