The International Bluegrass Music Museum and Hall of Fame will break ground on a new $15 million facility in Owensboro next week.
Owensboro Mayor Ron Payne and Daviess County Judge executive Al Mattingly will be among those attending the June 23 event at 311 West 2nd Street in Owensboro.
The new museum will have a 450 seat concert hall, a recording studio, an outdoor concert area, a gift shop and a rooftop restaurant.
Museum officials say it will house "the world's foremost collection" of bluegrass artifacts, memorabilia and music recordings.
