Stroll a block off Main Street to the corner of 8th and Pleasant St. for

Local Museum Collects. This exhibit tells stories found in the artifacts
from the Museum’s permanent collection, plus some special items
from the Kentucky Historical Society and North Middletown First
Chrisitian Church. Hopewell Museum has taken the Victoriana of a
by-gone age, added the decorative arts of local crafters, inserted the
hard driving politics of Bourbon County and included the beauty of
Kentucky art. Curator Estill C. Pennington will be on hand for gallery
talks throughout the evening. Refreshments will be available and
