The Chapline Building
The Hart County Historical Society Museum is housed in the historic 1893 Chapline Building in downtown Munfordville. Originally constructed by Joseph B. Chapline as a general mercantile, the building was made using bricks salvaged from Hart County’s first courthouse. Over the years, it has served a variety of community purposes, including a bakery, barber shop, telephone exchange, doctor’s office, dry goods store, and printing office for the Hart County News. These many uses reflect the changing life of downtown Munfordville while the building itself has remained a constant local landmark. Today, its preserved historic façade and distinctive Mesker front continue to define its presence on Main Street.
