Log Text: An amazing museum and well worth the price. I do note that due to funding reductions some galleries have been closed, I believe on a rotating basis. On the day of my visit, much of the ceramics collections, the Vase and Minor Objects Collection, were not accessible.

Log Text: Large and steady rainfall this spring has flooded two of the three excavation areas normally open to the public. The largest excavation (over what was a long loaf shaped burial mound covering a village surface) is still open, as it the small visitor center.
The site admission fee has been reduced during this period. The friendly staff are still ready to answer your questions.
During the last week of April the only route into the village of Wickliffe is Kentucky State Road 60. The other major routes were either flooded or blocked by a mudslide.
