In 2026, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. This special year also marks another important milestone – the 50th anniversary of the Pennyroyal Area Museum’s opening. Join us at the Pennyroyal Area Museum in downtown Hopkinsville on Saturday, July 11 at noon for a Birthday BBQ Bash, celebrating 50 years of the Museum making history in Hoptown.
The birthday celebration will include a Pioneers barbecue lunch, live Bluegrass music by the Todd County Boys, and a special program featuring Hopkinsville-Christian County Historian William T. Turner. Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased online or in person at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.
Note: Ninth Street between Virginia and Liberty streets will be blocked off during the afternoon for the festivities.
This event is hosted by the Hopkinsville History Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in 2023 to support the mission of the museum.
