Our Museum Shop features a selection of educational items, souvenirs, and cards, as well as accent pieces and artwork to remind you of your visit. We think you’ll appreciate their quality, and we hope you’ll also take the time to browse through our unsurpassed collection of publications about Maysville and the surrounding region.
The shelves of our shop hold a wide variety of hard-to-find books about our city, region, and state. Handsome collections of art and photography describe Kentucky’s natural beauty. We have authoritative works on topics ranging from covered bridges and folklore to classic recipes. If you’re looking for biographies of legendary figures like Daniel Boone, Harriet Tubman, or the Shawnee chief Blue Jacket, you’ll find them here.
Of course we have a wide selection of books on Kentucky history, including vivid accounts of the earliest pioneers, the Civil War, and the Underground Railroad. The Museum Shop is the perfect place to find gifts and keepsakes—and Museum members receive 10% off every purchase.
