King family operates private museum

Collections reveal local history

Posted

As a tribute to his father’s contributions to this community, Gary King continues to operate the Garland King Museum, which is the former Harris Middle and Central High Schools on Elm Street. Lots of renovations have taken place inside since the King family purchased the property.  

King said he’d like the community to know that there are no tickets available to visit the museum, as stated recently in an article in a Shelbyville magazine. “Tickets are not sold,” said King. “The museum is a private museum.”
