The KJHS state office offers several events throughout the year in addition to those planned by sponsors. Summer activities give students a chance for in-depth exploration of Kentucky s past. In the fall, Regional Rallies occur in several historic sites across the state, bringing together members from area chapters for a day-long workshop including games, presentations, and tours. The culminating event of the year is KJHS Convention , a two-day event that includes project competition, special speakers, tours, and officer elections, held each spring in Frankfort. The Timeline is a quarterly newsletter designed to keep chapters informed of KJHS happenings, and Kentucky Heritage is an annual magazine containing some of the winning projects from the convention.
Members receive free or reduced admission to many of Kentucky s historic sites.
State and local officers also receive leadership training.
