About Hardin County Historical Society
Our Mission
The Hardin County Historical Society exists to study, preserve, and disseminate information about the history of Hardin County.
Our Approach
This is accomplished primarily through quarterly meetings, special presentation projects throughout the county, promotion of historical publications for sale, and by publishing a quarterly newsletter called Bits and Pieces of Hardin County History.
Our Accomplishments
Over the years, we have accomplished many significant milestones in our mission to study, preserve, and disseminate information, including expanding our services and increasing accessibility to our resources.
The Society's accomplishments include playing an instrumental role in the 2003 Hardin County History Museum opening. The building on the corner of West Dixie Avenue and Mulberry Street was initially built as a U.S. Post Office in 1932—the brick wall restoration at Helm Cemetery in Elizabethtown and replacing and restoring several historical markers around the community.
