Explore Hardin County's Rich Heritage

Happy New Year and Happy 250th Birthday America! I look forward to working with all of you in 2026 as we have many opportunities to share the stories of our ancestors. We can educate our children so they can carry their heritage into the next 250 years.

I am excited about our partnership with the History Museum as we work together to bring the community the best HERITAGE DAY EVER in October! Food, games, music, character impersonators from the early days when we were a new country in 1776 and a new state in 1792! Several of you have already volunteered to help with Heritage Day. I encourage you to sign up as we also need HCHS representatives at the Lincoln Heritage House on the first weekend of the month, either Sat or Sun from 1-4pm. Everything you need for the open house will be provided. Just show up and enjoy three hours at the lake.

Check out our menu from The 16th Restaurant, a gourmet salad, assorted soups, corn bread, and finish that off with one of Joe’s fabulous desserts! Coffee, tea and water included. Meal $20 in advance, $25 at door.

Make your reservations with Heather by Friday, January 23rd. 270-369-7874.
