TODAY’S KET KET works every day to preserve and share both local and national history. It’s a core part of our educational mission and, based on our recent Member Survey (thanks to everyone who participated!), one of the areas of content you value most.

Since the Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution premiered last fall, we’ve focused much of our historical content on the founding of the nation and exploring our country’s struggles and triumphs over the past 250 years.

I invite you to celebrate with us by checking out the many programs we have scheduled this month in connection to America’s birthday. You can find even more by visiting KET.org/250.

Here you’ll discover a curated collection of content, including programs, classroom and other educational resources, and original digital content, including the Kentucky Origins videos that were funded in part by a grant from the Kentucky Historical Society/America250 Kentucky Commission.

Thanks to your support, we’ll continue to share stories about our rich history, particularly local stories that no one else is telling. Wishing everyone a very Happy Fourth.

Sincerely,

Guide Staff Editor: Taylor Hunt • Contributing Staff: Lauren Bennett, Mollie Eblen, Nancy Howard • Design/Production: Karen Billings, Sam Cooper, Amy Crittenden, Justin Stewart • Director of Brand & Design: Missy Upton Senior Director, Marketing and Communications: Todd Piccirilli
