Hopkinsville’s annual celebration of clairvoyant Edgar Cayce will be Saturday, March 25, with several events organized by the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County, Visit Hopkinsville and Milkweed Health & Harmony Emporium.
Cayce, who was born in Christian County in 1877, “displayed great gifts of clairvoyance that he used to help thousands of people” overcome health concerns and other problems, said Alissa Keller, executive director of the museums.
Saturday’s activities will be centered around the Pennyroyal Area Museum and Milkweed on Ninth Street between South Virginia and Liberty streets. The museum has a permanent Cayce exhibit. Attendees can learn about healing stones at the Chakra Rock Bar and pick up supplies (while they last) for a fairy garden kit.
