Pikeville, KY – The Pikeville 200 bicentennial celebration is continuing into 2026! The City of Pikeville
wrapped up its bicentennial year on December 31, 2024, but there was one celebration left to
commemorate – the official sealing of the time capsule.
“The weather did not cooperate with us in 2024,” said Pikeville Mayor Jimmy Carter. “There were also
delays with constructing the plaza at the Overlook Events Center. But we finally have everything in place
to celebrate!”
The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, May 5, at 11:00 am at the Overlook Events Center Plaza. The
City is partnering with the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who will recognize
201 Pike County Revolutionary War Patriots, and Pikeville Elementary School, whose students wrote
letters to the future citizens of Pikeville.
The bicentennial time capsule will be placed in the center of the Pikeville 200 Plaza at the Overlook
Events Center. The plaza features historical markers that tell the story of the Model Cities Program, which
includes the Pikeville Cut-Through, that was spearheaded by Mayor William Hambley. The planning and
construction of project spanned more than 20 years and was the most impactful and dramatic downtown
revitalization project in the nation.
Among the items that will be included in the capsule are letters to future citizens written by Pikeville
Elementary students, some of whom will be in attendance to place the letters in the time capsule. Other
items to be placed in the time capsule are items that are popular today, information about Pikeville, items
from the Pikeville Bicentennial celebration, historical information about Pikeville, books by local authors,
etc.
“The time capsule will be opened in 50 years in 2076 which will be America’s 300 th anniversary.” said
Mayor Jimmy Carter.
City officials will be in attendance, and the public is invited to attend. There will be a reception following
the ceremony in the Overlook Events Center.

With a mix of science, personal stories, and group participation, this seminar promises to be an enlightening and enjoyable journey into the mysteries of love.
