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:Historical Marker Bus Tour

Join us on Saturday\, May 25 at 10am for a county-wide riding tour to visit our state historical markers. \nSince 1949\, the Kentucky Historical Society has partnered with communities across the commonwealth to install more than 2\,400 historical markers that share our state’s complex and remarkable history. Of those 2\,400 markers\, twenty-two are located in Christian County – with two more approved for installation. The earliest was dedicated here in 1964; the most recent in 2020. These markers tell stories of notable people\, places\, and events that have shaped our community\, our state\, and our country. \nThe bus will load and the tour will begin at the Visitors Center (1730 E. 9th Street). The tour will be narrated by Alissa Keller\, Museum Director\, will last about 2 hours\, and will include one comfort stop at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.  \nCost to ride is $15.00 per person. Tickets can be purchased online through Shopify or in-person at the Visitors Center or at the Pennyroyal Area Museum. The tour is limited to 12 people. \nThis bus tour is SOLD OUT. We hope to do more tours soon!
