Kentucky Highway Markers

The Kentucky Historical Highway Marker Program, administered by the Kentucky Historical Society in cooperation with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, commemorates historic sites, events, and personalities throughout the commonwealth. The goal is to connect events, people, and sites to bring the past to life, and to increase the public’s awareness of Kentucky history. The subjects of the more than 2,000 markers vary widely, but all mark sites that local communities have recognized as important to local, regional, state, or national history.

Through the program, the wealth of Kentucky history is made accessible along the state's highways. The markers are on-the-spot history lessons that add drama and interest to travel for both native Kentuckians and out-of-state visitors.  Click Here to apply.
