Putting Historic Preservation Tax Credits to Work

May 30, 2013, Thursday 5-7PM at Hopewell Museum.

Learn how you can use state & federal tax credits for historic preservation and come away with a resource list of architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers. This workshop will be led by Ralph Quillin, who will use his rehab work in

downtown Paris as an example of what can be accomplished. Cost: Free to members; $10 nonmembers. Sponsored by HPBC and the SSQ Historic Preservation Fund.

ExploreKYHistory A new smart phone app and a new project for HPBC/Hopewell Museum will soon bring a way to learn even more

about the important people, places and events celebrated on the 23 historical markers throughout the county.

A committee of HPBC/Hopewell Museum is joining the Kentucky Historical Society’s (KHS) Marker Program, ExploreKYHistory, to help provide greater context, related stories, images, audio clips and video about the subjects on Bourbon County’s twenty-three historical markers. Through this

free app and the companion app website, the traveling and touring public will have greater access to Bourbon County’s rich local history.

To download the current app for your phone, search your phone’s app store for “explore Kentucky history: or see the app’s accompanying website at explorekyhistory.ky.gov.

As HPBC/Hopewell Museum develops its Bourbon County markers, they will be posted on our Facebook page so that Bourbon Countians can begin their historical marker tour at any time!
