As part of our mission to present quality objects from our material culture and to share our knowledge of the people who created them, the Bodenheimer-Mayer House features items that are known to have been produced within certain geographic areas.
Elements from Kentucky’s material culture are presented on this page. Items attributed to a specific county are organized under the county name. Items that are more broadly interpreted to be part of Kentucky’s material culture are grouped together at the bottom of the page.
