Museum Gala

Promenade Entrance & Cocktail Hour: 6pm

Dinner & Entertainment: 7pm

The Hopkinsville History Foundation in collaboration with the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County and with support from Planters Bank announces its first ever Museum Gala on Saturday, September 21, 2024. This fundraising event supports the Museum and its mission to share the stories of our community through an inclusive dialogue about our history.

Inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Met Gala, this evening will begin with a grand promenade entrance and cocktail hour inside the Pennyroyal Area Museum followed by a dinner and music by the Gatsby Gang Jazz Band outside under the stars. The promenade and cocktail hour start at 6:00pm with dinner and music at 7:00pm. 

The theme for the evening is “Metamorphosis: Hopkinsville in the 1910s,” and guests are encouraged (but not required) to use the theme as inspiration for their attire. This magical night draws its inspiration from this decade of transition in mobility, women’s rights, communication, and so much more.

Tickets are $100 per person. Reserved tables with premier seating for 8 people are available for $1,000. Contact the Museum directly for table sales. All proceeds support the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County. 

We hope you will support the Museum as we celebrate the art, history, and culture of Christian County on this enchanted evening.
