  • Kentucky State University was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky.[1] During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, the city donated $1,500 towards the purchase of land for a new college on a bluff overlooking Frankfort. The new school formally opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president.[1] Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college's first permanent building, was erected in that year. KSU became a land-grant college in 1890, and the departments of home economics, agriculture and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum.[1] The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the 20th century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons.

The hotel is under a much needed renovation, but was still quite noisy. The hotel doors slam loudly and traffic noise is loud if room is on Wilkinson Blvd. side of the hotel. Hopefully, the renovation helps this. The staff is very friendly.

Very nice, the only reason for the lower score is that the hotel was under construction and some things weren't available because of that. My biggest disappointment was that nothing in the hotel was open while I was there on a Sunday night, the lounge and restaurant were both closed. The downtown area is within walking distance, but I did not feel safe walking there alone at night.
