Allen County Historical Museum & Genealogical Society

Allen County Historical Museum & Genealogical Society This Allen County, Kentucky museum holds countless artifacts from the area's history, and includes a library with data and information of family histories.

COME SEE WHERE HISTORY LIVES! This beautiful Allen County, Kentucky museum and library seek to discover, preserve, interpret and exhibit cultural heritage materials and memorabilia that provide insights into Allen County's history. The museum preserves written materials such as letters, diaries, pension applications, and church minutes. Clothing and other textiles capture historic importance, show

beauty, or illustrate creative skills. All artifacts help us to understand our cultural history. The ever-growing library is located now on the museum's first floor. The genealogical resources include family history books and files, Allen County soldier files, an obituary collection, a large Civil War collection, and more. There is a microfilm reader that is available to view and print images from the many reels of historical documentation, including wills, deeds, marriages, and other court records, along with microfilm of the Citizen-Times issues from 1911 through 2001. There are also publications for sale. The Museum & Library is open Tuesday and Thursday, 11:00 to 3:00pm and, at other times, by appointment. We invite you to take a look at our museum which is located in the Dr. Pellie G. Graves House that was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Our museum is free of cost and our volunteers look forward to meeting you!
