Located within the Cathedral of the Assumption’s Patterson Education Center, the Archdiocese of Louisville History Center provides an opportunity to experience first-hand, through objects and artifacts, the Catholic heritage of the Archdiocese of Louisville from its earliest beginnings in 1775 to the present day.
As time passes, what remains are the memories of the people and events that have shaped our future. Alongside these memories of the people are everyday items, tools, artwork, garments, pictures and the countless other items used to spread a message, complete a task, or to be admired for their beauty. Found within the History Center are artifacts from our earliest beginnings, objects that have traveled the world before resting in Kentucky, and personal property of some of the Archdiocese of Louisville's most noted brothers and sisters.
The History Center is open most Sundays, 10:30 am - 2 pm, and is free of charge. Group tours may be scheduled several days in advance of your visit. For availability, please call the Cathedral of the Assumption parish office during weekday office hours.
