Fun Facts

Harland Sanders was given the honorary title of 'Colonel' by the Governor of Kentucky in 1935 for his contributions to the state's cuisine.

The museum is housed in the original building where Harland Sanders first served his famous fried chicken in the 1940s.

Before opening a full restaurant, Sanders served meals to travelers at a service station in Corbin, Kentucky.

Visitors can see the pressure cooker and other tools Sanders used to perfect his fried chicken recipe.

His likeness has become synonymous with KFC and is recognized globally, making him an enduring figure in fast food history.
