The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County and Human Rights Commission will continue its Supper Club series the evening of Thursday, April 9, highlighting the rich immigrant history of the area.
Museum Executive Director Alissa Keller shares April’s Supper Club is inspired by a series that ran in the Kentucky New Era in 1934, titled “Our Foreign Born Citizens.”
Former Bowling Green chef Matthew Brown will join Keller at the museum to highlight some of the food from countries those people would have represented.
The majority of global dishes featured in April’s Supper Club are Eastern European, reflecting the once thriving Jewish population Christian County had in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The museum’s Supper Club events aim to share the diversity and history of the Christian County community through food. The upcoming event follows the great success of the previous dinner the museum held earlier this month with the Nance siblings, who shared soul food and stories from their childhood and the Nance Family Restaurant, owned and operated by the Nance’s sister Emma Nance Jordan.
April’s Supper Club will take place Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Pennyroyal Area Museum, located at 217 E. 9th St. Tickets are limited and can be purchased for $10 at the museum or through their website.
