Have you wanted to research your family history but aren’t sure where to start? Maybe you've already begun your search but need help and new tools to dig deeper. The Historical Society is here to help!

We are pleased to offer free access the powerful genealogy research site Ancestry.com. To encourage more guests to use this service, the museum will be open for special, extended hours on Tuesdays throughout the fall. We invite you to visit us and give Ancestry.com a try. Our staff will be available to help you use the site and to assist with other questions you might have about family research. Guests are welcome to use one of our computers on the second floor of the museum or bring their own laptops.

The evening genealogy sessions will be held on October 29 and November 19 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. For more information or to RSVP please call 231.526.9771.
