HOPKINSVILLE, KY – The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County is offering free admission for all children and students thanks to a generous partnership with the City of Hopkinsville. As part of this special summer, they also have special programs featuring some of their favorite friends.
- On Friday, Aug. 21 at 10:30 a.m., be swept out of this world as they celebrate the anniversary of the alien encounter at Kelly in 1955! Join the Museum and the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library for this special Alien Storytime and craft activity.
- On Saturday, Aug. 22 at 11:00 a.m., show off your creativity with our Gant Gaither Art Workshop. Hopkinsville native and artist Gant Gaither created art that featured whimsical animals – often in human situations. Develop your own animal main character and story using Gaither’s work as inspiration. This activity will happen alongside the Art Loop hosted by the Hopkinsville Art Guild.
- On Wednesday, August 26 at 5 p.m., the Museum and Library join forces for Epic Hour. The hour will start at the library and include a short walking tour and visit to the Pennyroyal Area Museum. The hour will conclude back at the library. Epic Hour is one hour of free programming scheduled for school-age youth.
We hope residents will take advantage of Mayor Knight’s Museum Days this summer. For more information on these programs or anything else, visit their website, follow them on Facebook, or give them a call at 270-887-4270.
The Pennyroyal Area Museum is located at 217 East Ninth Street and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
