1992 Kentucky Statehood
• Issued in honor of Kentucky’s 200th anniversary
• Features Federal Hill, the mansion that inspired the song “My Old Kentucky Home”
Category of Stamp: Commemorative
Value: 29¢, First-Class Mail rate
First Day of Issue: June 1, 1992
First Day City: Danville, Kentucky
Quantity Issued: 160,000,000
Printed by: Stamp Venturers
Printing Method/Format: Photogravure
Perforations: 10.9
Reason the stamp was issued: The Kentucky Statehood stamp was issued to commemorate the state’s 200th anniversary.
About the stamp design: The stamp pictures Federal Hill, a brick home in Bardstown. It was the inspiration for the song, “My Old Kentucky Home,” written by Stephen Collins Foster. That tune became Kentucky’s official state song in 1928. The mansion is now part of the Old Kentucky Home State Park.
This was the first stamp design for Kentucky painter Joseph Petro. He called the stamp, “the pinnacle of [his] career.”
First Day City: The Kentucky Statehood stamp was dedicated at the Constitution Square State Historic Site in Danville. This city was the first capitol of the state.
Unusual thing about this stamp: The stamp’s design was revealed at a ceremony at Federal Hill in October 1991, by a Louisville postmaster and an official with the Kentucky Tourism Cabinet. This was two months before the US Postal Service had planned to unveil the design.
History the stamp represents: Kentucky was originally part of the colony of Virginia. After the United States gained its independence, the people of the region wanted to separate from Virginia. The first meeting was held in December 1784 in the town of Danville. In 1790, a post office was set up in Danville, the first one west of the Allegheny mountains. On June 1, 1792, Kentucky became its own state.
