Two historic Hopkinsville houses, both built in the first decade of the 20th century, will be the topic of the August History on Tap program titled “From South Main to East Seventh Street.”
Grace Abernethy and Jeri Lynn Richardson will lead the discussion of their homes at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, at Hopkinsville Brewing Co.
Abernethy and her husband own the Monroe Dalton house at 7:13 E. Seventh St., a 1907 structure they are currently restoring. Their work on the house is the subject of “Brick & Mortar Monthly, a monthly column Grace Abernethy writes for Hoptown Chronicle.
Richardson and her husband are meticulous caretakers of their home, the Trice Castle at 2000 S. Main St. It was constructed around 1904 to 1905.
“Using their homes as a launching point, the women will explore the greater stories of Hopkinsville in the early 1900-1910s, a time of major changes in mobility, women’s rights, communication, and so much more,” History on Tap organizers said in a press release from the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County.
History on Tap programs are hosted monthly at the brewery on Fifth Street between South Main and South Virginia streets. There is no charge to attend.
