The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County are reviving a longtime community tradition with the return of “Supper in the Cemetery,” set for Saturday, March 21 at 6 p.m.
After being on hiatus for several years, guests are invited to gather among historic tombstones at Riverside Cemetery for an evening that blends dining with local history. Attendees will enjoy a lasagna dinner prepared by Hancock’s Catering before moving into the cemetery’s chapel for a special program.
The evening will feature live portrayals of individuals connected to the life of Edgar Cayce, a Christian County native born in 1877. Known as the “Sleeping Prophet,” Cayce gained recognition for his claimed clairvoyant abilities, offering guidance on health and spiritual matters to thousands of people. His work has been associated with early holistic health practices and continues to influence modern wellness and spiritual thought.
This year’s Supper in the Cemetery is part of a larger Edgar Cayce Hometown Seminar, taking place March 20 through March 22. The weekend will include educational sessions and activities centered around Cayce’s life and legacy.
Tickets for the full seminar include admission to the dinner event. Individual reservations for Supper in the Cemetery are $25 per person, or $20 for museum members and can be purchased online or at the Pennyroyal Area Museum. Full weekend registration is available for $100 or $90 for members.
