Welcome

The Clay County Historical and Genealogical Society meets at 6:30 p.m. on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, September through May, with the exception of combined November/December and January/February meetings, at the Bryan Public Library on Commerce Street in West Point, Mississippi. Guests and prospective members are always welcome. Membership dues are $15.00 per person ($20.00 per couple) per year (September - August).

The Clay County Historical and Genealogical Society is an organization dedicated to the study and investigation of genealogical history and records. We receive and collect genealogical and historical records, depositing those records in libraries and archives, thereby preserving them and making those genealogical and historical records available to the public.
