The Bullitt County History Museum

About the Museum

The purpose of the Bullitt County History Museum is to be a repository of historical artifacts, historical information, and genealogical resources related to Bullitt County and surrounding communities; to collect, present, and interpret the history of Bullitt County and its people; to display that history in an interesting, helpful, and educational way, widely accessible to the general public.

The Museum is housed in the county courthouse, and is staffed by volunteer members of the Bullitt County Genealogical Society. Besides our two display rooms featuring exhibits related to our county's heritage, we feature a free research room with computers to access the Internet as well as our growing collection of local historical and genealogical resources. We also have a microfilm reader/printer and a variety of microfilmed records including all Kentucky death certificates currently available on microfilm.

Our volunteer staff members work on many research and documentation projects, and are always ready to assist our guests. Convenient handicap access is available from the east entrance of the Courthouse, near the Old Stone Jail. Come visit with us!
