We’re here to make arts & educational programming affordable and accessible. The Olive Hill Historical Society, Inc. has administered the Olive Hill Center for Arts & Education ever since its incorporation in 1999. We are located in Olive Hill, KY, a rural community set in the foothills of Appalachia. The Historical Society purchased a historic 1929 high school building that had been abandoned, and formed an organization with this stated mission: “Through restoration and preservation of the historic Olive Hill Center for Arts and Education, we will create and administer a center for making arts, education, and cultural history accessible to our community.” Over its years of operation, the Center has brought a variety of arts programming to the Olive Hill area, including historical dramas, visual art lessons and exhibits, and seasonal musical performances.
