Navigation Help Us Find a Permanent Home. The Museum is looking for a new permanent location. Due to changes related to the renovation of the Barbourville Municipal Building the Museum will not have the required space to operate fully from its prior location within the Municipal Building. We are looking for a new location that will be fully dedicated to housing the Museums considerable physical collections of artifacts and all of its genealogical research materials for the enjoyment and use of future generations.
