Old Munfordville Walking Tour
Munfordville abounds with history and it is clearly evident in the many architectural structures that still remain from the 19th century. The Old Munfordville Walking Tour is made up of 13 different historical buildings and sites that were either occupied during the Civil War or have a special place in the establishment of Munfordville.
Our first stop on the Walking Tour is the Chapline Building. Built in 1893, this building has been the home of a bakery, a dry-goods store, a newspaper office, and a telephone exchange. Presently, it serves as the home of the Hart County Historical Museum. Visitors can view the Society's extensive collection of historic objects, images, books, maps and papers relating to the history of Hart County.
Since the destruction of the county courthouse by fire in 1928, the Historical Museum has become the main source for information about the early denizens of the county. In addition to the Museum, the Chapline Building is also a repository for genealogical research. The museum is open Monday, Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
