The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County is set to receive the Thomas D. Clark Award of Excellence from the Kentucky Historical Society.
According to a news release, the award—along with many others to agencies and individuals across the state—will be presented on Saturday at the Kentucky History Awards Competition in Frankfort.
This year’s winners represent communities from across Kentucky in categories that include a range of disciplines from education to publication, along with special awards named after some of the commonwealth’s greatest historians.
KHS Executive Director Scott Alvey says, “The annual Kentucky History Awards program not only recognizes outstanding achievements in Kentucky history, it demonstrates vibrant connections across the state, with our members, colleagues, and communities. By celebrating their great work, we elevate the fundamental role Kentucky history plays in all corners of the commonwealth. History surrounds us in all that we do, and we continue to be inspired by the award winner’s quality contributions.”
