Oral histories are significant documents that the Historical Society will accept into the collection.
The society may accept materials that originate from outside the county if they relate to the above criteria, and/or are found to have historic significance to the county. We will not under any circumstance accept model railroad collection, coin collection, salt & pepper collection, cookie jar collection, etc. We are not a railroad museum and therefore we will not accept donations of full-scale engines, cabooses, or train cars.
