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.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/7262/80b239a0-cf4a-4e00-8ea0-fb6e64265ab6.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Kentucky State University 26 min drive \- 16.0 miles - Old Governor’s Mansion 22 min drive \- 14.7 miles - Salato Wildlife Education Center 24 min drive \- 13.0 miles ### Getting around - Lexington, KY (LEX-Blue Grass) 47 min drive ### Restaurants - Bridgeport Benson 11 min drive - Buffalo Crossing 12 min drive - Aurora Farms 19 min drive - 6 Mile (: 12 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Kentucky Derby Stay: Bourbon Trail Home w/ Pool, Speakeasy, Dog-Friendly, Games have a pool? ### Is Kentucky Derby Stay: Bourbon Trail Home w/ Pool, Speakeasy, Dog-Friendly, Games pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Kentucky Derby Stay: Bourbon Trail Home w/ Pool, Speakeasy, Dog-Friendly, Games? ### What time is check-in at Kentucky Derby Stay: Bourbon Trail Home w/ Pool, Speakeasy, Dog-Friendly, Games? ### What time is check-out at Kentucky Derby Stay: Bourbon Trail Home w/ Pool, Speakeasy, Dog-Friendly, Games? ### Where is Kentucky Derby Stay: Bourbon Trail Home w/ Pool, Speakeasy, Dog-Friendly, Games located? ## Have a question?
