Memories Past and Present opened in February, 2004, in a vintage 1928 home on Main Street in downtown Henderson, KY, and features antiques and new gift items. After 5 years and growing to occupy all three floors of the home , the opportunity came along for Roy and Carolyn Dorsey, owners, to purchase a new 9,000 sq ft. building on Elm Street, also in downtown Henderson.

This location has allowed the shop to expand and give the customer a more spacious place in which to browse all the beautiful items offered. Memories is not your run of the mill antique store as anyone who has visited will tell you. It has an upscale boutique feel and offers a variety of antique furniture, china, crystal, wall decor, vintage jewelry and linens, collectibles such as retired Precious Moments, Hallmark Ornaments, Department 56, Norman Rockwell, Boyds and more! The gift lines carried blend beautifully with the antiques and feature angels (including a large selection of Willow Tree), tea items, gifts for wedding, anniversary, baby and much more.

Memories will be celebrating its 8th Anniversary on Friday and Saturday, February 17 and 18, 10 am to 5 pm. Hot Valentine Cider, home-baked refreshments, Free Gift with a $20 purchase & register for a $100 value door prize!

Downtown Henderson Project Attends Kentucky Main Street Program Awards

February 1, 2012 in Business Development, Downtown Businesses, Event with 0 Comments

The Downtown Henderson Project staff attended the 2012 Kentucky Main Street Program Awards, hosted by the Kentucky Heritage Council that took place Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at the Grand Theatre in Frankfort. As part of the awards recognition, the Downtown Henderson Project along with Danville, KY (The Heart of Danville) were recognized as the two oldest programs in the state, both celebrating 25 years of downtown revitalization. The Downtown Henderson Project was also nominated for the Best of Promotion – Retail / Event Award for the 2011 Art Hop Gallery Show & Sale.

 Awards were also presented based on the four-point approach model, Design, Organization, Promotion and Economic Restructuring , created by the National Trust Main Street Center, principles communities can use to revitalize their business district by leveraging local assets – from cultural or architectural heritage to local enterprises and community pride.

 The Kentucky Heritage Council brought revitalization professionals from across Kentucky to celebrate a year of successful initiatives. With the theme “A Shiny New Year Full of Opportunity,” the program encouraged, inspired and acknowledged the Kentucky Main Street organizations.

Administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council / State Historic Preservation Office, the Kentucky Main Street Program is based on the National Trust model and is the oldest statewide Main Street program in the nation. The awards ceremony was the highlight of a three-day training conference.

The Main Street program works to build local businesses, support public-private partnerships and enhance economic development while preserving unique local architecture and existing community infrastructure. The state program can document more than $3.5 billion reinvested in Kentuckysince 1979. The Downtown Henderson Project reported these reinvestment figures for the Central Business District in 2011:  11 new businesses, 37 building rehabilitations including façade projects, 1500 jobs in the CBD, and a total including public and private reinvestment of $19,519,120.
