Harrodsburg Historical Society Celebrates New Quilt Gallery, America’s 250th, and Harrodsburg’s 252nd Birthday

The Harrodsburg Historical Society invites the community to visit its newly opened Quilt Collection Gallery on Saturday, June 13, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The gallery features a beautiful collection of quilts from across Kentucky and beyond, showcasing the artistry, craftsmanship, and stories stitched into these treasured pieces of history. Visitors will have the opportunity to browse quilts representing a variety of styles, regions, and generations of makers.

The afternoon will also serve as a celebration of two significant milestones: America’s 250th anniversary and Harrodsburg’s 252nd birthday. As Kentucky’s oldest town and the oldest permanent settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains, Harrodsburg has a unique place in our nation’s story, making this a fitting opportunity to honor both local and national history.

Guests are invited to enjoy complimentary birthday cake while exploring the quilt collection and celebrating these historic anniversaries with friends and neighbors.

The event is free and open to the public. Whether you are a quilting enthusiast, history lover, or simply looking for a pleasant afternoon activity, the Harrodsburg Historical Society welcomes you to come celebrate with us.
