Home The Frazier History Museum is located in Louisville, Kentucky on Main Street's historic Museum Row and houses more than 1,000 years of history.

Everyone knows that Daniel Boone was the fashion forward explorer who popularized that coonskin cap, right? Wrong.

We learned on a recent visit to the Frazier Museum that Ben Franklin first popularized the cap. Franklin as it turns out, not Daniel Boone, discovered the head gear during his exploits in France while there rallying support for the American colonists’ revolt.

We also tend think ole Ben would have looked pretty good modeling on the Parisian catwalks.

Have you taken a trip to the Frazier History Museum lately? Need a good reason to go in January? How about to check out the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" exhibit!

Lifestyles - Art, Fashion and Luxury in the Gilded Age -presents the spirit and material culture between 1870-1915 through the era’s most iconic artwork and objects.

This exhibition presents this era of rapid change on a national scale along with individual and family experiences from the region to explore how local people entered the modern era. But visit soon! Your chance to relive the Gilded Age ends on February 1st!
