Our Most Recent Achievement: Preservation of Hardin County Historical Site Marker

Our most recent achievement was revitalizing the John Young Brown sign on the 600th block of West Dixie Avenue. 

Note From The President

What an exciting year we are having as we celebrate 250 years of freedom, democracy and dependence! Happy 250th Birthday America! 


The Historical Society is proud to participate in the celebration by co-sponsoring with Ancestral Trails Historical Society through a grant made possible by the Kentucky Humanities Program;  Kentucky Voices.

Lisa Wood, a native of Woodford County, is a professional artist with the Chautauqua program who has performed in New York City, Chicago, and around the this region. As our guest speaker, she will tell the story of Loretta Lynn, the "Queen of Country Music."  This is an inspiring story of a girl born in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, who rose from poverty to the Grand Ole Opry Hall of Fame and became beloved across America. The program will take place at 7:15 pm on Monday, July 27th. 


This is sure to be an entertaining evening. I invite you to come celebrate with us and bring a friend. 


Make your reservation's early by calling Heather at 270-369-7874! Dinner is at 6:30 pm. Meal is $20.00 in advance and $25.00 at the door, if food is still available. 

                                                                                    See you on the 27th, Twylane Van Lahr
