The Grant County Historical Society is a local Non-Profit Organization that is dedicated to preserving and sharing the History of Grant County. We work to make historical connections, preserve historical items, and engage with the local community about the history that came before. We believe that an understanding of Grant County History will aid in the continued success of our communities.
Your membership is a vital part to the success of our organization! Our members are spread across the State of Kentucky and even across the United States. Though we like for our members to attend meetings and help in any way that they can, it is not a necessity. Showing your support can come in a multitude of ways.
When you become a member of the Grant County Historical Society, your dues help pay for the cost of key aspects of our mission such as:
- printing and publishing historical literature
- Purchasing pieces of G.C. History
- helping to maintain historical sites
- Maintaining our new website
- Giving to Historical Projects
