The Revolutionary Threads Exhibit highlights an important aspect of the Revolutionary War soldiers’ wartime experience —what they wore to war. The exhibit illustrates and explains the designs, development, and diversity of the many uniforms worn by the soldiers during the War for Independence. Women patriots are represented as well-- from the women who fought on the battlefield to those who served as nurses, spies, and in domestic capacities. The experiences, ordeals, and service of members of Kentucky’s Gatliff Family demonstrate the difficulties of fighting the war on its western front on the Kentucky frontier and the personal impact on the soldiers and their families. In addition, a display of 20 battle flags represents some of the numerous regiments, militias, and other military units of the 13 colonies. Included are seven life-size mannequins dressed in period attire. Celebrate America's upcoming 250th Anniversary of Independence!

The Hopkinsville History Foundation in collaboration with the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County and with support from Planters Bank announces its second annual Museum Gala: Juleps, Jockeys, & Jazz on Saturday, September 20, 2025. This fundraising event supports the Museum and its mission to share the stories of our community through an inclusive dialogue about our history.

The theme for the evening is “Juleps, Jockeys, & Jazz.” Inspired by the 100th anniversary of a Christian County horse winning the Kentucky Derby, the gala celebrates the history of thoroughbred farms, horse races, and the 1920s in Hopkinsville and Christian County.

Here’s the twist. The museum staff has selected 9 artifacts that embody this year’s theme for a special "Create from the Collection" art experience. Use one or more of these artifacts as inspiration for a piece of artwork. The auction will take place during the gala.

Guidelines:

• Please set a value and opening bid for your artwork. Your identified opening bid will be the starting price for bidding and the amount you receive from its sale. Any amount raised above this will go to the Museum.
  
  • *If you would like to donate all proceeds, please specify on the registration form.
• Payment will be sent to you by mail.
  
• Pieces can be delivered to the museum from September 9 - 13 from 10am until 4pm.
  
• If your artwork is perishable, please submit a photograph of it by September 16. The actual piece can be dropped off at the Museum on Friday, September 19.
