CCH&GS Plans a “ Walk in Old Town ” and Open House
in Conjunction with Downtown Alexandria Businesses
Mark your calendars and come join us on Saturday, September 30th from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
for an old- fashioned walk down Alexandria’s Main Street and an Open House at CCH&GS!
About a dozen small
businesses and the Campbell County Historical & Genealogical
Society will all be open for a special day of shopping and history on
Sat., Sept. 30. All of the stores and merchants are locally owned
and/or operated small businesses that line the streets surrounding the
historic 1840 Campbell County Courthouse. Participating businesses and
organizations will be featuring sidewalk sales, displays and
information about their establishments. CCH&GS is located on the
second floor of the historic 1840 Campbell County courthouse. We have a
large research library, a very interesting county history museum, a
military room, reception office, medical and camera collections and
lots more. All of this will be open for exploring and we’ll also greet
visitors in front of the courthouse where we’ll have displays featuring
some of our museum and library holdings, as well as publications and
other items that we offer for sale.
Celebrate Alexandria’s old fashioned shopping experience and soak up
some local history at the same time. You won’t be sorry you took the
time to come visit us!

The
Veterans Data Project
One
of the most successful projects of the historical society has been the
collection of information on Campbell County Veterans. With forms
continuing to pour in, the project has already produced dozens of
binders filled with data on veterans from every war. Many people have
attached copies of important documents, pictures and other information
relating to the veteran's service. Several other historical societies
are considering duplicating the project in their area.
If
you or your ancestor served in the military and also lived one or more
years in Campbell County, we would like to add your information to our
list of honored veterans. Please use the link below to access the
Veterans form.
