Webster County Historical & Genealogical Society Tree

The Webster County Historical & Genealogical Society was incorporated in 1980 with the intent of encouraging people to become involved in the preservation of their heritage, and to better understand history as it relates to family history, Kentucky history, and American history.

"We believe that a knowledge of the history of Webster County helps us appreciate our heritage, and encourages us to carry out ideals of our day with the courage shown by those great pioneers and citizens who lived here before us."

Anyone interested in the genealogy and history of Webster County is invited to join the society. Annual dues are $15 for an individual or $20 for a family. The quarterly publication is Webster's Wagon Wheel, Lowell Childress, Editor; Carolynn H. Dunbar, Assistant Editor. All subscriptions start with the March issue and subscribers will receive the back issues for the year starting in March, regardless of when the subscription is entered. Member queries are encouraged and should be directed to the editor at: WCH&GS, P.O. Box 215; Dixon KY 42409-0215.

The WCH&GS has a growing collection of genealogical and historical materials at their research room, which is located in the Webster County Courthouse in Dixon. The research room is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers are in the research room on those days to assist visitors. The room is not open unless a volunteer is on duty.

Courthouse hours are: Monday-Friday, 8-4; Saturday 8-11:30. Webster County is in the Central time zone. Meetings of the Society are held on the 4th Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. (except December) at McDonald's in Providence. Society membership now stands at 135. Officers for the year 2005 are:
