Genealogy, History, Homesteader's Index, Research & Much More
Our research area is named to honor our past dedicated staff, Philip K. Gardner Research Center and Mary Landkamer Genealogy Library. We have grown dramatically to accommodate the needs as more people become interested in tracing their roots through genealogy and studying the history of their community.
We are proud of our outstanding information center used by researchers from across the nation and occasionally beyond.
Researching today, we are working daily to scan our collections for preservation and better access of records. Or research center and the several online resources can be used together to thoroughly document history. We have lots of old papers that are being scanned with plenty of technology tools, we continue to provide more service to more people than ever.
