Wrather West KY Museum
In 1924 the first permanent building, the Administrative Building, was constructed on the campus of Murray State. It was used for campus classes, chapel, pep rallies, debates and plays; it also housed the bookstore, post office, a dining room, science laboratories and the administrative offices. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1975. Shortly following that, the facility was extensively renovated and dedicated as the Wrather West Kentucky Museum on September 22, 1982. It was named for long-time administrator, M.O. Wrather.
The primary mission of the Wrather West Kentucky Museum is to highlight and promote an understanding of the social, cultural and economic development of West Kentucky and the Jackson Purchase. Acquisitions, exhibits and special programs support this mission. Both permanent and changing exhibits are open to the public at no charge.
The Wrather Museum is located at North 16th Street and University Drive on the campus
