A local genealogist will lead the next History on Tap program based on research she shared in a story for Hoptown Chronicle.
Yvette Holmes will present “From Soldier to Settler: Christian County’s Revolutionary War Soldiers” during the History on Tap program on Thursday, Oct. 22, at Hopkinsville Brewing Co. It begins at 6:30 p.m.
“Holmes has performed extensive research on men who served in the American Revolution and then moved west to make their home in a young Christian County,” the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County noted in a press release. “Focusing on individual stories, she has developed a narrative of early local history that connects us to a larger American story.”
Her story for Hoptown Chronicle — headlined They brought forth a new nation: Christian County’s Revolutionary War soldiers — was published on July 4 for the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding.
The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County hosts History on Tap monthly at the brewery. It is a free series designed to share local history in a relaxed setting.
