Updated: Jun 29, 2019

The Heritage Hemp Trail and affiliates hosted a "Discover The Hemplands" event series from June 4th through June 9th to celebrate the 10th annual Hemp History Week campaign. Hundreds of guests attended events hosted at eight Heritage Hemp Trail locations in Kentucky to learn about the crop and its rich hemp heritage rooted across the bluegrass region of the state.

Guests had the opportunity to experience hemp in a variety of ways at each event - from tours of historic house museums to CBD yoga and hemp-infused foods. Each event host provided free hemp samples from Hemp History Week sponsors, and new Heritage Hemp Trail maps printed on hemp paper!

See some highlights from each event below!
