The Calhoun Historical & Genealogical Society, Inc. is a non-profit, educational institution formed for the purpose of collecting, preserving, and researching the county’s history and genealogy, with a particular emphasis on its timber, oil, gas and river history.
It is the society’s belief that this mission will benefit the economic development of the county, for by having a thoughtful, respectful historical presence in the county, our yesterdays will help lead and form our tomorrows.
The Stump Hotel’s exterior will be restored to its early 20th century reality, and the History Center will portray county history through a multimedia approach.
Genealogical research will continue in the Knotts Room of the County library. Being mindful of its responsibility, the society will continue to be informed as to its inclusive approach and its affect on the quality of life in the county.
