Visitors to Owensboro can hear the melodic sounds of bluegrass music drifting down the Ohio River from one the city's key tourist attractions, the International Bluegrass Music Museum, just a two-hour drive from Louisville.
Founded in 1991 and located in the city's RiverPark Complex, the museum houses such artifacts as a Pete Seeger banjo and exhibits of historic instruments; the Bluegrass Hall of Fame recognizes industry notables; and a special section is dedicated to Bill Monroe, the legendary father of bluegrass music.
The International Bluegrass Music Museum is at 1117 Daviess St., Owensboro, Ky., and is open Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. (central time) and Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
