Lawson, a member of the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Vernon, invited members of the club to visit the museum and to purchase a named brick at the entrance of the museum. He pointed out that there was no children's book of Kentucky music history so the staff worked with students at Rockcastle High School to produce a book which provided essays, poetry and artistic drawings about Kentucky music history. He pointed out that the museum also provides educational tours & programs. In fact, the museum has a Teacher's Study Guide and Education Packet available on the web.
