Hopkins County Genealogical Society
The Hopkins County Genealogical Society is located on the second floor of the Hopkins County Library at 31 South Main St, in downtown Madisonville, across the street from the court house.
The Society has a nice collection of books, specializing in the various county books available for Kentucky, especially those counties that surround Hopkins County. They also have numerous books on Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee as well as other states.
The Society's library is not affiliated in any way with the Hopkins County Library. The Society library is staffed by volunteers three to five days a week from 1-5pm for your convenience. (A volunteer must be on duty for you to have access to the library unless you are a paid member.)
Members may visit at any time. If there is no volunteer on duty when you arrive, simply request the key at the main desk down stairs and sign in. (You must show your current year membership card.)
Hopkins County Genealogical Society celebrated its 30 year anniversary in 1996. We invite you to become a member. Dues are $20 per year (Jan.-Dec.) which entitle you to unlimited access to the Society's library, and a subscription to "YESTERDAY'S TUCKAWAYS", a quarterly published by the Society. Queries with Hopkins County connections are welcomed and will be published as space permits, (usually not a problem).
Meetings are held every 4th Tuesday at 6:30pm (except Dec.) in the Society Library.
