![Kentucky State University was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky.[1] During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, the city donated $1,500 towards the purchase of land for a new college on a bluff overlooking Frankfort.
The new school formally opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president.[1] Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college's first permanent building, was erected in that year.
KSU became a land-grant college in 1890, and the departments of home economics, agriculture and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum.[1] The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the 20th century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/7262/80b239a0-cf4a-4e00-8ea0-fb6e64265ab6.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high)

满意：服务设施，清洁度
Had a suite, the room was nice. The rooms air was stuffy upon arrival, just needed to adjust the rooms temperature control to turn on the fan system to keep the air moving. Absolutely loved the bathroom. They were in the process of renovations during our stay, and while i could hear work being done they waited until a respectful hour of the morning to do it.biggest concerns was the amount of black mold left exposed from behind the removed trim pieces on the wall that meets the enterance. Wasnt the best view for the quality complimentary breakfast in the lobby. Im sure the place will look nice when its done, but hopefully they root out all the mold.
