\nThe Kentucky State Reformatory is the largest prison in the state, and now a museum wants to give people a glimpse of what it looks like behind the gates. <\/p>\n
The new exhibit will be at the Peyton Samuel Head Family Museum in Oldham County. <\/p>\n
The Kentucky State Reformatory was built in 1939. <\/p>\n
Inmates even helped come up with the design for the exhibit. <\/p>\n
The exhibit also teaches about how building the prison helped people during the great depression. <\/p>\n
Nancy Theiss, of the Oldham County Historical Society, said it was a very hard time and it afforded the opportunity for people to have employment.<\/p>\n
The exhibit cost $1.5 million to construct.
