As you’re planning your Labor Day weekend activities, you’ll definitely want to keep the Jefferson Davis State Historic Site in mind.

As part of the Labor Day holiday weekend festivities, you can see an impressive collection of reproduction Civil War flags, both Confederate and Union.

The flags, by Spencer and Linda Brewer of Central City, represent units from Kentucky and Tennessee. The flags will be on display outside the museum.

Jefferson Davis State Historic Site marks the birthplace of the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis. Kentucky has always taken pride in the fact that the President of the Union (Abraham Lincoln) as well as the President of the Confederacy (Jefferson Davis) were BOTH born in Kentucky.

The park features a 351-foot monument that was completed in 1924 and includes an elevator. The site also has a museum and gift shop. There is also a picnic area on the park grounds.

The gift shop features Kentucky handcrafts, souvenirs, books and Civil War memorabilia. The site is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through October. There is a fee for the museum and monument.

The site is 9 miles east of Hopkinsville on U.S. 68.
