Knight and the City of Hopkinsville to offer FREE SUMMER ADMISSION for all children and students from June 10 – August 31\, 2024! \n“This is a wonderful opportunity for our young people to learn about our rich local history and culture. I believe that by making the museum accessible for everyone\, we are investing in the future of our community. I encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity and explore and learn together\,” said Mayor Knight. \nOPEN ON MONDAYS\nThe Pennyroyal Area Museum will be open on Mondays throughout the summer\, too. That gives the community and visitors to our community an extra 11 days to explore the museum and to learn more about local history!

SUMMARY:Tombstone Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Roll up your sleeves with us to scrub the dirt off a bit of history! \n Join us for a special Tombstone Tuesday on Saturday\, August 10 at 10am in Vine Street Cemetery (also known as Union Benevolent Society Cemetery).*  \nLocated on Vine Street just past Wood and Bradshaw streets\, this cemetery was established in 1866 by the Union Benevolent Society\, an organization of newly-freed African Americans just after the conclusion of the Civil War. The group was one of several Black benevolent societies locally and nationally. It served the purpose of financially caring for widows and orphans and for providing a burial place for its members. Commonly referred to as Vine Street Cemetery\, this site is the final resting place of hundreds of local people including dozens of African American veterans of the Civil War. The cemetery ceased to be used as an active burial ground in the mid-20th century and is now owned and maintained by the City of Hopkinsville. \nFolks will receive a brief training on respectful cemetery etiquette and on how to document and clean historic tombstones safely before grabbing a bucket and brush. Learn more about Hopkinsville’s history while making our community a brighter place! \nThis program is free to attend\, and the Museum will provide all supplies – including bug spray. We encourage folks to wear real shoes (not sandals) and pants. \nThis is the fourth year that the Museum has cleaned tombstones as a community outreach program. Our friends at Hoptown Chronicle wrote THIS great article about our first cleaning last year. \nCan’t join us this month? We will clean tombstones one more time this season on Tuesday\, September 17 at 6pm (weather permitting). Stay tuned for more details and updates.
