Pennyroyal Area Museum grand re-opening set for Feb. 27

After a lengthy renovation, the Pennyroyal Area Museum is set to reopen at the end of February with an open house and a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting.

According to a news release, the event will take place on February 27 starting at 3 p.m. where there will be comments made and tours of the building after the ceremony. The grand re-opening is free and open to the public.

Thanks to multiple partnerships and community donations, the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County has renovated the old post office, which houses the Pennyroyal Area Museum since 1976. Built around 1913, the building was in need of upgrades to provide a space that can best showcase the history of the community and region. In addition to the building renovation, the exhibits have been redesigned and updated to tell the many stories found here.

There will be a special preview for donors to the capitol campaign on February 21.  For more information, contact the museum at 270-887-4270.
