The Shenandoah County Historical Society was formed in 1985 by a group of County citizens interested in preserving and sharing our County's heritage. Recognized as the County's official historical society, we are now some 200 members strong, and are undertaking major projects. We need your help if we are to succeed.
Among the current projects are:
- Developing a local historic register through an inventory of historic landmarks
- Genealogical research services
- Sharing of information on County families
- Involvement in local historic preservation issues
- Providing access to information on historic sites in the County-homes, schools, churches, mills, furnaces, roads, depots, post offices, photos, books, etc.
- Collecting copies of old documents, photos, books, etc.
- Publishing a quarterly newsletter
- Inventorying, reproducing, and documenting items in the Morrison Studio Photo Collection
- Presenting programs meetings on a regular basis;
- Publication and sales of local history books
Our program meetings are held four times a year. Check the local papers or the SCHS Newsletter for details. Our annual membership meeting is in May.
