Event Description:
Mark your calendars and make plans now to join us for our biggest event of 2026! In celebration of America’s 250th birthday and the Historical Society’s 50th anniversary, we are hosting a Heritage Day Celebration in and around the Jack Thomas House in Leitchfield on Saturday, June 20th from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. We will have different stations set up in the parking lot next to the Jack Thomas House showcasing how our pioneer ancestors lived. Admission is FREE and everyone is welcome.
There will be a mobile blacksmith, as well as demonstrations on log cabin joinery, butter churning, and more. There will be opportunities to weave your own cane footstools and make children’s toys such as corn husk dolls and button spinners. We will have our community quilt on display. The Jack Thomas House and Buchanan Log Cabin will also be open for tours.
And, at the end of the day, we will come together to celebrate the Society’s 50th anniversary with refreshments. As part of the ceremony we will recognize this year’s scholarship winner and invite our local elected officials to sign our annual Grayson County History Week proclamation.
