The THURSDAY June 9th meeting of the Historical Society of Hopkins County will include a field trip to the Larry and Rita McWilliams home in Earlington, KY.

Be at the Historical Society building on Union Street by 6 PM (an hour earlier than normal, so we can get back to Madisonville before nightfall)… as a quick business meeting will proceed carpooling to Earlington for a guided tour of the McWilliams historic home.

Guest are invited… as we hope you will become a member of the Society!

Any questions contact the Historical Society during the week from 1-5…
