Add historic context at Bardstown’s Civil War Museum and Women’s Museum of the Civil War and the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site, where Kentucky’s bloodiest Civil War battle erupted in 1862. “Be Great. Do Great Things.” Among the landmark locations across 15 states and Washington, D.C., that comprise the U.S. Civil Rights Trail is Louisville’s award-winning Muhammad Ali Center. Founded by “The Greatest” himself, this multicultural, interactive museum celebrates the life and legacy of a world heavyweight champion, global humanitarian and cultural icon who stood up for his beliefs and became an inspiration to all.
