- Pattern: Vintage Advertisement, Kentucky Derby Museum, Very Rare Early Announcement.
- Made in USA
- Vintage: 1962
- Details: This is a wonderful advertisement for plans to open a derby museum for all racing mementos at Churchill Downs. This is a very rare advertisement, we have not found another like it. The ad is from 1962, it wasn't until 1978 that the Churchill Downs leadership disclosed the plans for the non-profit Kentucky Derby Museum funded by the J. Graham Brown Foundation. The actual model of the proposed $7 million facility was not unveiled until 1983 and it was finally opened to the public on April 28, 1985. A real piece of horse racing history! This is a full page, full color ad from 1962, an original page from a magazine, not a print or reproduction, the paper has age toning (yellowed with time). Perfect for your next Kentucky Derby party!
- Materials: Paper
- Dimensions: 12.5 x 10.75 inches
