Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County

Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County features exhibits, programs, and events that highlight the history and heritage of our region.

The Museums engage the public with the excitement of discovery, inspire people with new perspectives on the past, and illuminate the relevance of history in our lives today. We strive to inspire all people to make history a part of their lives by presenting exhibits, educational programs and public events that bring history alive; collecting materials that reveal stories of the Pennyroyal area and

its people; educating students of all ages; encouraging the heritage activities of others; and fostering a sense of identity and community.

This July marks the 50th anniversary of the Pennyroyal Area Museum, and we're about a month out from our birthday BBQ celebration! Throughout the past few months, we've been sifting through the archives, adding special artifacts into our exhibits to celebrate our 50 years of existence.

Keep an eye out for our special 50th logo when you're visiting the museum - items featuring the red clock tower were carefully hand-selected to help tell the story of our community and its history.
