Due to increased operating expenses over the last several years it has become necessary for the Jessamine County Historical Society to increase the membership dues to $20.00 starting in 2013. A new, updated application is available here. If you have already sent in your renewal, please be kind enough to provide the additional $15.00. The JCHS provides a great service in preserving the history of the people and places of Jessamine County.
Jessamine County Historical Society has received a large family history collection containing genealogical information on the following families: Anderson, Campbell, McClanahan, Caldwell, Cassell (a large amount), Daniel (a large amount), Newman (a large amount), and Stuart. The society does not have the staff necessary to research this material but it is available to anyone who makes a trip to Nicholasville and takes advantage of the research opportunities of the Society's holdings. The Society is open every Thursday from 1:00 to 3:00 pm and by appointment for out of town visitors.
