In early March 2021, Eastern Kentucky experienced catastrophic flooding. The Red River Historical Society and Museum and the Three Forks Historical Museum both flooded during this time and sustained extensive damage to their museums and exhibits. Kentucky Humanities worked with them to receive emergency funding from NEH Chair Adam Wolfson. On today's episode of THINK HUMANTIES, Bill Goodman travels to Eastern Kentucky to talk to staff and members of both museums about the impact of the flooding and how these grants from the National Endowment are helping them reopen their doors to the public.
