The Toyota Kentucky Hall of Governors, one of the main attractions at the Kentucky Historical Society, is a permanent exhibition with official portraits of all the Kentuckians who have held the highest elective office of the commonwealth, beginning with Isaac Shelby in 1792

Governor Fletcher's will be the 56th portrait to hang in the Hall of Governors. It was painted by John Michael Carter, an acclaimed portrait artist in Louisville. Another Carter portrait - that of former governor John Y. Brown Jr. - is also in the collection.

The Kentucky Historical Society adds each governor's portrait to the collection at the end of the governor's term.
