The Gallia County Historical and Genealogical Society located at 412 Second
Avenue is currently reorganizing our facility due to the judgment of the
recent court case. We are currently waiting for an appeal date but until
such time we are moving forward. This court case has made our group more
determined to continue being the best Historical and Genealogical Society in
Southeastern Ohio.

The society is encouraging donations of family histories and research
books. We recently received several boxes with volumes of research books,
histories, newsletters, etc from individuals which is helping our library to
expand. Due to the generosity of wonderful people like these our library is
growing by leaps and bounds, we still have several boxes of boxes to catalog
and unpack and put on the shelves.

Please stop and see what we have to offer, as always our volunteers are
eager to help with any research questions you may have.The Gallia County
Historical and Genealogical Society at 412 Second Avenue has always offered
our services free of charge except for any copies you may need.

If you enjoy reading old newspapers but get cross eyed trying to read
microfilm, we have the place for you, stop and read the actual newspapers in
our news room, which we recently created in our expansion efforts. We have
newspapers bound in very large books and have tables available for you to
sit and at your leisure read and touch the actual newspapers. We have
several people that come on a regular basis just to read this little bit of
history and you never know what you might find.

We are currently working on several new publications to be published this
year and have a wonderful line of items to sell. There is also a Military
project, this is an ongoing project of collected photos of individuals that
have served in any past war. We have a bio sheets that can be filled out and
the information is then placed into a book, the photos are framed (8"x10")
and will be placed on a Military wall. There is plans for a mini Military
Museum upstairs across from our current museum, which is free of charge. If
you would like more information on this project contact the society office
at 740-446-7200 and they will put you in contact with someone on the
committee.

So, if you are traveling to Gallipolis this year or if you live in Gallia
County, stop at 412 Second Avenue and visit the Gallia County Historical and
Genealogical Society and see what we have to offer you. We had school tours
last year reaching over 600 children, which exposed tomorrows generation to
genealogical research techniques and also historical information concerning
Gallia County. Again, this is all free of charge. We are open Monday through
Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and other times by special appointment. We
welcome groups.
