Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street Exhibit
River Discovery Center 117 S. Water St., Paducah, Kentucky 42001
The Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MoMS), in cooperation with Kentucky Humanities, will bring Americans, an exhibit that explores stories that highlight how deeply intertwined American Indians are in the culture of the United States and examines the complexity of those stories to Kentucky communities in 2025 and 2026.
Kentucky Humanities has selected seven sites to host Americans as part of the Museum on Main Street program — a national/state/local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations. The Smithsonian exhibit will make stops in Paducah, Greenville, Clinton, Henderson, Carrollton, Versailles, and Ashland from August 23, 2025, through July 5, 2026. A tour schedule is below.
