SUMMARY:bell hooks Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County and the bell hooks Legacy Group introduce the bell hooks Book Club\, an informal group who will come together in conversation of Hopkinsville native bell hooks and her extensive work. The first gathering will be on Monday\, June 17 at 6pm in the bell hooks Community Room at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.  \nBorn Gloria Jean Watkins in Hopkinsville and writing under the pen name bell hooks\, this remarkable woman published 40 books in her lifetime. The cultural critic\, educator\, and theorist is best known for her writings on feminism\, race\, and class\, but she also wrote children’s books and books about love\, spirituality\, and healthy relationships. \nThe group will discuss hooks’s 2002 book Communion: The Female Search for Love. Published as part of her love trilogy\, Communion is described as the “heart-to-heart talk every woman – mother\, daughter\, friend\, and lover – needs to have” about the search for love. The cultural critic and feminist icon explores the ways that ideas about women and love were changed by feminist movements\, by women’s full participation in the workforce\, and by the culture of self-help. This book challenges every woman to claim the search for love as the heroic journey we must all choose to be truly free. \nCopies of Communion are available in The Vault by Planters Bank Museum Shop\, online through our Shopify store\, to check out from the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library\, or from Amazon or your favorite bookseller. \nThe bell hooks Legacy Group is a grassroots alliance that nurtures the meaning and impact of the writer’s stories\, essays and poems in her hometown\, Hopkinsville\, Kentucky\, where she began life as Gloria Jean Watkins. Follow bellhookslegacygroup on Instagram for more information. \nFor more information\, contact the Museums at 270-887-4270 or visit us in person at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.

SUMMARY:Tombstone Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Roll up your sleeves with us to scrub the dirt off a bit of history. Join us on Tuesday\, May 21 at 6pm in Vine Street Cemetery (also known as Union Benevolent Society Cemetery)* for our first Tombstone Tuesday of the summer.  \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 on Tuesday\, July 16 and Tuesday\,  September 24 at 6pm and Saturday\, August 10 at 10am (weather permitting). Stay tuned for more details and updates.

SUMMARY:Solar Eclipse Watch Party
DESCRIPTION:The sky goes *partially* dark again!\nThe Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County\, Visit Hopkinsville\, and Hopkinsville Parks & Recreation is hosting a Watch Party for the Solar Eclipse on Monday\, April 8\, 2024. The community is invited to gather at the Hopkinsville Visitor’s Center from 12pm until 4pm for fun activities and to view the eclipse with friends. \nHopkinsville falls just outside the path of totality\, but we will still experience a partial eclipse.

The partial eclipse will begin before 1pm\, will be at its greatest at 2:03pm\, and will conclude just after 3pm. Eclipse glasses should be worn at all times if outside and looking at the sun. Eclipse glasses are available for purchase at the Visitors Center for $1.00 (while supplies last). \nThe watch party will also be a time to commemorate and remember Christian County’s place as the Point of Greatest Eclipse for the Great American Eclipse on August 21\, 2017. Food trucks\, crafts\, snacks\, games\, music\, and a simple sense of community are on the agenda for the afternoon! Drop in for a bit or stay the whole time.  \nThe watch party will be held at the Hopkinsville Visitors Center located at 1730 East 9th Street. The event is FREE to attend. \nFor more information\, contact the Visitors Center at 270-887-2300 or the Museums at 270-887-4270.

SUMMARY:History on Tap: Christian County's Wealthiest Woman
DESCRIPTION:We are honoring Women’s History Month at History on Tap with a special program about a fascinating local woman. \nIn 1896 following the death of her mother\, seven-year-old Louise Jones became one of the wealthiest people in Christian County. Her father Lucian Jones\, the first president of the City Bank of Hopkinsville\, had already passed away –  before his little daughter’s second birthday. As the family’s sole heir\, the young orphan inherited a great estate and led a fascinating life. Museum Director Alissa Keller will explore the story of this local woman in all of its beauty and tragedy. \nKeller joins us again to present in April on yet another fascinating local personality and his connection to an international diamond hoax in the late 19th century. \nHistory on Tap is a free series that seeks to share local history in a relaxed\, fun setting. Programs are typically held on the last Thursday of the month at 6:30pm at Hopkinsville Brewing Company. \nFor more information\, follow us on Facebook or give us a call at 270-887-4270.
