When traveling, places like Griffin's Studio are EXACTLY what I'm looking for when it comes to…read moreshopping! A few colleagues and I had lunch at The Place (great restaurant next door) then wandered here. The moment I walked in, I knew I liked it. As a matter of fact, I would like this anywhere, but being a little gem in downtown Hopkinsville made it that much more special. You can find jewelry, greeting cards, children's items, home items, some locally made items, art, and a variety of other items in this sweet store. The owner is apparently an artist, and I heard they also do painting classes in the studio as well. (The back portion of the space looked like a studio; the front space was more of a boutique/store.) The employees were so friendly. I believe I was talking to the mother of Griffin, while Griffin herself was further in the back working. It seemed as though they would gift wrap gifts; though most of what I bought was for myself. Without a doubt, make this a stop when you're in Hopkinsville! The strip it is on has some other neat looking stores (including an ice cream/candy shop), so you could even just do some window shopping if so desired. P.S. My one hope/suggestion would be for more clarity on where/who some of the art/jewelry comes from. For example, I bought this awesome bracelet, and I'd love to know who made it.

Great addition to the Hopkinsville scenery. A mix of books, learning toys, local interest,…read moredecorative, and boutique items, as well as a full art gallery on display with local and area art for sale. The overall feel leans towards a more female touch, but it has an appeal for anyone young or old. Locals should visit to see things the average gift or boutique store just will not have. People visiting from out of town should visit to see one of the more unique businesses in town that does not fall on the usual radar of area places to visit. You might have seen similar places in neighboring areas with art communities but this one has a one of a kind Hopkinsville feel to it.

June 19,2020 Friday. The Pennyroyal Area Museum is one of the best city attractions in…read moreHopkinsville. It use to be a post office in 1915. Despite its small size, it is the only museum in Hopkinsville with African American history and Edgar Cayce exhibits. The $5 admission fee was satisfactory. Hillary and Alissa, the museum staff, were very nice and helpful. I greatly appreciated the museum kit provided to me with pencils, postcards, a recipe card, and museum tokens to use. The museum is very interactive and child friendly. I love reading the weird and wonderful facts exhibits throughout the museum about the goblins, the Nightriders, the blackbird invasion, and Blind Mary. The Edgar Cayce exhibit was my favorite. I spent most of my time there. If you go to the museum, make sure to write on a museum postcard there. The museum will provide the post card, a stamp, and mail it for you. One of the unique features of the museum is the blackbirds flying all over the museum and perched on random places all over the museum like the ladies bathroom. Membership is $25 and gives you a year full of free museum admissions and discounts. I may seriously consider buying membership.

My family is currently living in Hopkinsville, KY and we were there for two days this past week…read more So we decided to see what this place is all about historically and visit the Pennyroyal (pronounced Pennyrile) Museum, built in 1914. They have a gift shop and a small museum that is pretty spooky (awesome). If you are city folk like us looking to feel slightly uncomfortable in Christian County, then this place is only $2.00 per adult and open during most business hours. The main reason we wanted to visit was the Hopkinsville Goblins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly-Hopkinsville_encounter), documents sightings of alien in the area terrorizing a family on their farm. But, that is not the only main creepy feature for you: there is also turn of the century maternity ward equipment, Nightrider Masks, Puppeteer exhibit, and don't forget Edgar Cayce. All with a strange smell in a dark environment. I had no idea that there was so much cool stuff to come out of Hopkinsville. And, the downtown area is a must see, as well as the beautiful historical houses in the area. My favorite was actually the turn of the century bedroom set, looms, and fireplace in the upstairs portion of the building.
