Research
Located within the Warren County Historical Society Museum, our Local History and Genealogy Library is a wonderful source for researching your family records or Warren County history. Individuals have come from all over the country to scan our holdings for genealogical clues and facts about Warren County history. Many peruse original manuscripts which present historical events as seen by a writer of that time.
Our volunteers take great pride in cataloguing information and assisting visitors. Included in our archives are materials on Shaker history, National Normal University, churches, some court records, photos, atlases, cemetery records, and local newspapers since1807 on microfilm.
