Morehead (pop. 5,900) was the site of the first of Cora Wilson Stewart's "moonlight schools" in 1911. The classes were held on moonlit nights to adults from 18 to 86 and was a factor in eliminating illiteracy in Kentucky. The Morehead area offers recreational opportunities such as hiking, bicycling and horseback riding.
The Kentucky Folk Art Center in Morehead features the Edgar Tolson Folk Art Library and a 900-piece collection of folk art which is displayed by exhibiting 115 items at a time. Many of the works showcase artists from Morehead State University.
