FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 15, 2010

 

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is pleased to announce a new tour that focuses on Edgar Cayce, Christian County’s most famous resident.  D. D. Cayce, a cousin to Edgar Cayce, is the voice and guide of this walking/driving tour.  “We want to expand on what we have to offer on Cayce because of the interest both nationally and internationally” said Cheryl Cook, executive director of the CVB.  Visitors and locals can take the tour at their leisure. 




 


Edgar Cayce called the "Sleeping Prophet," and the "Father of Holistic Medicine," was born in Christian County, Kentucky, in 1877. It was in Hopkinsville, the formative years of his life, which this native son developed his remarkable psychic talents and embarked upon a lifetime of service to God and to mankind. From the first psychic reading given in Hopkinsville in 1901 until his last at Virginia Beach, Edgar Cayce gave 14,256 clairvoyant medical and life readings. Edgar Cayce is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
