The UNCF has help more than double the number of minorities attending college. $83 million+ in scholarships awarded to students by UNCF every year.86% 8,000+ students graduate annually from UNCF-member college and universities. 86% of every dollar raised goes to student support and scholarships. 500,000+ students with college degrees, thanks to UNCF. 70% graduation rate for UNCF scholarship recipients is nine percentage point higher than the national average for all students at four-year college.

Experience the magic and adventure of railroading every day at The Historic RailPark & Train Museum and L&N Depot. This historic national landmark invites you to immerse yourself in the rich heritage of our region's railroad history. Discover and explore important railroad artifacts, engaging all your senses. Your visit includes both a self-guided museum tour and a guided railcar tour. If you prefer a self-guided tour of the museum only, half-price admission is available. Tour times for the railcar tour may vary daily, so please call ahead to confirm. We recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes before your desired tour time to ensure we can accommodate you. A special highlight of the museum is the ongoing refurbishment of the Segregation and Hospital Cars, made possible through the dedicated efforts and contributions of CACW over multiple years. Start your journey today and step back into the golden age of railroading!

Background

is free to the public and a must-see destination in Bowling Green, Ky. Fighter jets and helicopters are on display outside for visitors to touch, inspect, and take photos with, including an F-4 Phantom, an F-111 Aardvark, an F9F Panther painted in Navy Blue Angel livery, an SH-3H Sea King Helicopter in Marine 1 configuration, and a “Huey” helicopter. All of these aircraft were curated because they all connect in some way to aviators from this region. Inside the museum, we use aircraft and artifacts, along with video, images, and interactive screens, to tell inspiring stories of bravery, honor, determination, and self-sacrifice. With ever-changing exhibits, we will always present a fresh look at this important history. A Piper Cub aircraft from 1940 is suspended inside to honor Willa Brown, the first African-American woman to receive a commercial pilot license, who went on to train the Tuskegee Airmen. There is also a T-38 Talon on display that holds the distinction of being flown by every person who ever walked on the moon. The AHP aircraft are available outside for viewing every day from 8:00 am to dusk. The AHP Museum is free to the public and open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
