Hardin County compiling listings for solar eclipse viewing

Additional Hardin County information is available HERE on Facebook.

Getting interested in April 8 solar eclipse viewing opportunities or ways to provide services for those who will travel to the area?

The Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance is working to compile a list of viewing locations that will be open to the public for eclipse viewing on April 8.

Anywhere with paved or gravel parking and open skies could be a good viewing location. You may choose to allow free parking, or charge a fee. You may be able to provide additional amenities, or not.

Locations can be added to the HCCBA website at www.hccba.com/eclipse

Ideas for viewing locations: Rural church parking lots, township halls, event venues, parks & outdoor athletic facilities, etc.

Help visitors to Hardin County know where they are allowed to park and view the eclipse, and what opportunities and events are available.
