She notes a portion of 9th St. will be closed during the event.

Keller adds the museums experimented with staying open on Mondays over the summer, and while there was a good response, they will be transitioning back to their Tuesday-Saturday schedule after Monday, July 31.

The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County are located at 217 E. 9th St.
