A regional tourism destination is partially reopening their facilities today. The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Park will reopen it’s visitor center to guests today.

“Visitors will be allowed to enter the building, but it is going to look different than what people usually expect,” the park’s Chief of Interpretation Stacy Humpheries said. “We do have little stickers on the floor showing ‘Stay 6-feet Apart’, showing people where they can stand.”

The Visitor Center will also include new signage and marks for guests as they travel into the center’s amphitheater and museum.

“We’re establishing a one-way traffic flow pattern through our building,” Humpheries said, “so that way we don’t have people doubleing back or grouping up.”

“We’re avoiding that so people can still follow those CDC guideline and observe those social distancing guidelines.”

The park’s iconic memorial building will still remain closed at this time.

Hardin Circuit Courts are reopened, but with some restrictions in place that will alter the court experience. Communication over electronic and video means is encouraged, and bailiffs in the courthouse are telling people where to go. In addition, applications for driver’s license renewal are available online, and can be mailed in to the court. Appointments for licensing can be made for those who, for example, may be coming in from out of state and need a Kentucky Driver’s License. There are currently no driver’s licensing road tests being given.

Nolin RECC’s upcoming annual meeting will change their location and process for this year.

Customers will still be able to register for prize drawings, as well as receive their bucket and bulbs, through a drive-thru process.
