NEW EXHIBITS
A new addition to the park is a permanent agriculture exhibit, “AgriCulture: Innovating for Our Survival,” that tells the story of farming innovation in the past, present—and especially—future in a fun and interactive way. As you explore this high-tech exhibit, you will experience how food, fuel and fiber get from the farm to the family and learn about the role of innovation in the field of international agriculture today.
The dynamic temporary exhibit, The Outdoor Art of John Toras: Man of Stainless Steel, features sculptures by John Toras, an artist from Marshall County, Ky., displayed throughout Discovery Park’s 50-acre heritage park. From static pieces that reflect the sun to those that dramatically move by the power of the wind, this exhibit provides a different experience depending on the weather and the time of day. This exhibit will be on display through Spring 2021.
