Hoptown History Hero Virtual Summer Camp

Join the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County as they offer a virtual camp this summer!

The “camp” will begin on Tuesday, June 9 and will run for eight consecutive weeks to conclude with a final party and ceremony on Saturday, August 1. Each week focuses on an era or interesting stories from our community’s history. At the end of each week, our heroes-in-training will earn a special badge – and at the end of the program, participants will become an official Hoptown History Hero.

The program is geared for kids between ages 7 and 12. Modifications for younger children and even for adults are available upon request.

Registration for the program is required and opens on Friday, May 22.

Virtual History Happy Hour

During this quarantine, we’ve heard references to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. We’ve seen the Philadelphia vs. St. Louis graph and learned how social distancing affected the spread of the disease. But did the Spanish flu hit Christian County? And if so, how badly?

Join Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County’s Alissa Keller for a virtual History Happy Hour on Friday, May 15 at 7:00 pm to learn more about how Christian County fared during the worst pandemic of the 20th century.

History Happy Hour is just one piece of a fun Date Night with the Hopkinsville Brewing Company, Butter & Grace, and the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County. Your date night experience includes your favorite beer from the brewery, an appetizer and/or dessert from Butter & Grace, and the Zoom access code to the history program. You can also transform your Date Night into a Family Fun Night with children’s activities provided by the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library.
