Schools:
We work with local agencies such as Hart County Schools, Caverna Independent Schools, homeschool groups, out-of-state schools, Munfordville Tourism, Chamber of Commerce, and others to educate students and our community on Hart County history, Native Americans, the Civil War, history preservation, and more! Programs: Our Society's volunteers work diligently to help preserve Hart County's history by providing tours, doing research, archival management, and helping to maintain the Historical Museum, Mary Willia Branstetter Genealogy Library, Historic Anthony Woodson House, and the Battle for the Bridge Preserve. We are always happy to accept new volunteers through our Volunteer Program! Our Youth Historians Program provides essential information for school-aged children interested in learning about local history. We aim to help them explore this interest and encourage a deeper interest in preserving our local history for generations to come. Events: Our annual Civil War Days event educates visitors on Hart County's Civil War history through reenactments, tours, living history demonstrations, and interactive educational activities. This event gives students, families, and visitors the opportunity to learn about the Civil War in Hart County, the experiences of civilians and soldiers, and the importance of preserving local battlefield history in an engaging and hands-on environment. We host four speaker events throughout the year alongside the release of our quarterly publications. These educational programs feature a variety of speakers and topics relating to the history, heritage, and culture of Hart County and Kentucky. Quarterly: We publish a quarterly publication four times a year featuring local history, genealogy, photographs, and community stories that help preserve and share the rich history of Hart County. Through articles, research, and historical features, the Quarterly serves as an educational resource for both Society members and our community. The Quarterly is included in membership dues and is mailed free of charge to Society members. Please call at least two weeks in advance to schedule tour groups with seven or more participants.
