The Powell Collection
On your next visit to the Frazier Kentucky History Museum in Louisville, be sure to see the 120 Cool KY Counties exhibit!
In late February, we delivered a piece of glass art from the Stephen Rolfe Powell Collection to the Frazier Museum. It has a prominent home in the installation, representing Boyle County.
This piece will be on view at the Frazier Museum for a year and will be seen by tens of thousands of visitors – students, educators, families, and tourists from around the world!
