Construction of the new Laurel County History Museum and Genealogy Center is under way and the project is expected to be nearing completion by the end of 2009. This is a project that has been many years in the making and we, on the organizing committee, are excited at the prospect of what this museum means to our community.
There are numerous areas of interest for any volunteer.
• Community Histories
• Swiss Descendants
• African-American History
• Native-American History
• Civil War in Laurel County
• Wilderness Road
• Skaggs Trace
• Boones Trace
• Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park
• Plus much more.
We would like to focus on each community in the county and reach out to the citizens to help preserve historic artifacts and oral history of those areas.
This is a monumental undertaking and we are in need of many volunteers. If there is an area of expertise that you feel you can add to this project please contact us.
