Hickman County Museum of KY

Hickman County Museum of KY Hickman Co. rocks as the first Purchase County in KY, but there’s so much more. Check us out! Artifacts all have a connection to Hickman County.

If the walls of this 1860s era home could talk.... and in a way, they can. Through careful preservation and captivating exhibits we have managed to capture the amazing history, stories, and memories of Hickman County. This allows us to stay true to the social history of our county, preserve local memorabilia, and still give a fascinating picture of changing times.

Do you have an ancestor you would like us to shine a spot light for? They don't have to be military, it can be anyone that has been part of shaping Hickman County, from every day stories, to the most unbelievable! And of course, we will also accept military posts.

Simply submit a photo to us (if you have one), and the information you would like shared. We'll package it in a beautiful flyer and share it here. Let's celebrate America 250!
