Welcome to the Jack Thomas House! We are starting a revamp of our web site that will make your visit more pleasing, and will hopefully make you want to return again and again. If you have any ideas or comments, please feel free to contact our Webmaster Scott Carter.

The Grayson County Historical Society strives to preserve the history of the county and make its findings open for public use through a museum and research library. We own the oldest brick building in the county, the Jack Thomas House, on East Main Street in Leitchfield, Kentucky. The museum is open for tours for a fee. It has a meeting room which is used by the Historical Society and the local Woman's Club. This room, as well as the dining room, can also be rented for other functions.

The research library is open to the public at no charge. There are three general meetings a year held the second Tuesdays of March, June and October at 7:00 P.M. Programs for those meetings consist of a speaker and refreshments. The Historical Society Board meets monthly.

A newsletter is published and sent to each member three times a year in March, June and October.

The Society owns three other buildings besides the Jack Thomas House - the Buchanan Log Cabin on the grounds of the Jack Thomas House, the Walnut Grove School near Caneyville, and the Edwards School west of Short Creek.
