The Green River Museum is dedicated to the preservation of Butler County, Kentucky's history and folklife. Special emphasis is placed on the Green River, which helped to develop and to sustain the region for centuries.
The GRM preserves the history of Butler County, with particular emphasis on the Green River and its influence on that history. The principle buildings were constructed in 1912 and 1913 by the federal government as office and residence for Superintendent of Green and Barren Rivers.
The museum originally opened in 1981, thanks to the efforts of many local citizens who volunteered their time and expertise to help preserve our history. The most recent re-branding, which included 501 (c)3 status and re-organization of focus and leadership, began in 2003.
Our season is May through September and the museum is open on Saturdays, noon until 4pm. Admission is free!
Our GPS address is listed as Morgantown, but GRM is located in Woodbury, Kentucky.
