Memorial Day is a day of remembrance and thanks for those who have died in our Nation’s service. Memorial Day is also a day to celebrate peace.

Downtown Henderson Kentucky has one of the largest displays of crosses honoring those who have died who have served our country in military service.

Join the Henderson War Memorial Foundation Inc. for the Memorial Day Ceremony in Central Park located in Downtown Henderson on May 27, 2013 at 10:00 am.

The crosses remain in the park till a few days after Memorial Day.

Flowers! Flowers! Flowers!  The Downtown Henderson Partnership has begun planning for the Saturday, May 18^th planting of the downtown flower urns! We had a wonderful group of volunteers that came out last year to help plant the flowers and we hope will have another great group of volunteers from our community be part of this year’s event.

We would love to have church groups, Girls/ Boy Scouts, and any other organization who would like to volunteer their time. We will gather at the Depot parking lot at 100 N. Water Street across from the Post Office at 8:30am. We will distribute the flowers and assign the locations for each group to work. Please bring digging tools and gloves if you want.

 The DHP received many comments on the appearance of the flowers and how beautiful our downtown was. We plan to create an atmosphere that is inviting and welcoming to our community and our visitors again this year.  If you were one of the many who enjoyed the flowers last year, we would welcome any monetary donations you would like to give. You can make a check payable to the DHP, 131 N. Main St., Henderson, KY  42420. We are a non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible.
