About
The Campbell County Historical Society
The
Campbell County Historical and Genealogical society is a non-profit
organization formed in 1990 and dedicated to preserve, protect and
promote history and genealogy in Campbell County, Kentucky. Meetings
are held the second Thursday of the month, starting at 7 pm, and
include
a featured speaker on a topic of local interest. Visitors are always
welcome!
Local
members receive a phone call
about the topic and location before that month's meeting. We have
recently begun notifying members via email and if you would like to be
removed from our "Meeting Reminder Call List" and receive an email
instead, just let us know by using the contact button on the
left.
We
also maintain a
research office on the second floor of the historic
Alexandria Courthouse. A few of our ongoing projects are:
-
history
and genealogy research
-
local
cemetery research
-
Campbell
County log cabin research
-
compiling information
on Campbell County Military Veterans
-
writing
and reprinting
of local history books

Visitors

open as the office is manned by unpaid volunteers. |

which was awarded
third place in the 1998 Family Tree Newsletter Contest. The certificate
states "This publication has been judged to represent the finest
achievement in journalism and communication." You can see some articles
from the newsletter in our Archives
