Mission Statement 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.

Queries are published in the Newsletter free of charge for members. Please send dues and/or queries to the Society at the above address.
Due to space constraints, and in the interest of serving all our members, it has become necessary to limit the length of queries to approximately one half page per issue for each person submitting. Please, only one submission per person per issue. If you have an e-mail address, please include it with your query, it may enhance your chance for a response.
Recently, we have received several copies of photos with requests to publish them in the newsletter in the hope that a reader might be able to identify the individuals pictured. Unfortunately, due to limited space, and in fairness to our readers, we are unable to honor these requests. OFFICERS
