SLICE OF LIFE By JEFF D'ALESSIO

On the last day of last year, I vowed that I would change and be a more positive me.

I was certain/convinced/desperate that I would be swayed to becoming a “glass is half full’’ kind of guy instead of a, “half of it is gone already?” kind of guy.

It was the new me.

Well, for about a week or two, it worked — about the lifespan of most New Year's resolutions.

The Hardin County History Museum recently celebrated its 5th birthday and the community should be thankful that some forward thinking minds got together to make the museum a reality.

Because Hardin County is a place that needs a museum to look back at its past, community members can do that with glowing pride at the intersection of North Dixie Avenue and North Mulberry Street.

Whether it's a look at Hardin County through it's early years or a touring mobile that makes a stop here, history has a place to call home.

Pioneers once flocked to Kentucky, drawn by the natural riches of the place they called the Promised Land, the Garden of Eden, Elysium, or simply, Paradise.

By foot, wagon, canoe and flatboat they came, first a trickle and then a torrent, seeking land, a new beginning, and adventure.

People still descend upon the Bluegrass, as tourists if not settlers. They come to experience our cultural institutions, our sporting events, our historic sites and yearly festivals.
