If you are in search of more Montgomery County History, you can come to an event, stop by our library, check out our blog, and pick up a copy of The Bulletin.
We sponsor a number of events throughout the year that will expand your knowledge of local, regional, and national history. In addition to lectures, workshops, and presentations, the Historical Society of Montgomery County also offers Genealogical Research classes.
We also present professional research in our publication titled The Bulletin. Published annually, submissions must be original articles on Montgomery County history, including people, events, or places.
