Pioneer Museum

The Pioneer Museum in Carlisle, KY, offers a comprehensive look at the rich history of the Blue Licks area, featuring exhibits on prehistoric animals, Native American inhabitants, and 18th-century pioneers. A significant highlight is the detailed three-dimensional diorama that illustrates the ambush of pioneer settlers during the Battle of Blue Licks on August 19, 1782.

Located within the Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park, the museum showcases artifacts such as a British officer's button, replicas of battle clothing, and various 18th-century weapons. The park itself is one of the few remaining Revolutionary War battlefields in the country, providing visitors with additional recreational amenities including a lodge, restaurant, and hiking trails.
