The Pennyroyal Area Museum will host a community discussion Tuesday, November 28, to get the community started thinking about the 250th birthday celebration of the United States.
Museums of Hopkinsville-Christian County Director Alissa Keller says the United States will celebrate its 250th birthday in 2026, and we want Hopkinsville and Christian County to be ready! She says to get our community started, the Museum is hosting a presentation and discussion on Tuesday, November 28 at 12pm at the Pennyroyal Area Museum about statewide efforts to commemorate this big event.
Keller says Tyler McDaniel, America250KY Commission Administrator with the Kentucky Historical Society, will lead the discussion and share how KHS is leading the America250KY program to explore our Commonwealth’s role in the history of the United States before, during, and after the revolution.
America250KY will rely on collaboration from multiple entities and perspectives within communities to tell the most all-encompassing story of our Commonwealth. This discussion shares information about the America250KY program, statewide feedback received on what Kentuckians want from this commemoration, programming themes designed specifically for Kentucky, and strategies for planning and implementation in the community.
