Step into Local History: The Land of Limestone Exhibit
For those looking to explore why Lawrence County is widely known as the “Limestone Capital of the World,” this educational exhibit offers an in-depth look at the geological history, cultural impact, and industrial significance of the region’s famous stone.
The exhibit will be available for viewing at the StoneGate Center during the following hours:
- Friday, June 5: 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
- Saturday, June 6: 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Celebrating Local Talent: The Home & Arts Show
Running concurrently with the historical exhibit, Brinegar Hall inside the StoneGate Center will transform into a gallery of local craftsmanship for the Limestone Heritage Festival Home and Arts Show.
Hosted by the Lawrence County Extension Homemakers Group, this community showcase will display a wide variety of creative projects, handcrafted items, and artistic achievements designed by residents.
