Hopkinsville
is a lovely, historic southern city, located in Christian County in southwestern Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 31,577 residents. One of the most impressive attractions in Hopkinsville is a sunken amphitheater that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It contains a group of plaques that commemorate the uprooting and journey of the Cherokee people, as Hopkinsville was a stop along the devastating Trail of Tears. A park along 9th Street on the Little River in Hopkinsville also commemorates this event. Each September, the Trail of Tears Indian Pow-Wow comes to town to Trail of Tears Park. There is also a museum, and a burial ground in the town. Other attractions include the Pennyroyal Area Museum, which is located in the old post office building. Each May, Hopkinsville is host to Little River Days, a two-day festival with canoe racing, a bicycle tour, an arts and crafts fair, food vendors and live entertainment. The festival takes place at Merchant Park in the downtown area. Hopkinsville is also just a short drive to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area and Penny rile Forest State Resort Park. It's also an easy commute to the cities of Louisville, Lexington and Nashville, Tennessee.
