Join us for the Total Solar Eclipse!

Hardin County is at the centerline of totality for the total solar eclipse that will cross North America on April 8, 2024. Plan your visit to experience this natural wonder in our beautiful rural setting.

What is a total solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun and the Moon blocks the Sun for a viewer on Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon lines up perfectly to fully obscure the Sun, resulting in "totality". A total solar eclipse is visible from Earth only along a very narrow path for just a few minutes, which makes the total solar eclipse one of nature's rarest events.
