Genealogy & History Research Center celebrates 5 years open

From Mike Watson

The Adair Genealogy & History Research Center recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of the first day open--19 April 2021. It is hard to believe this will be five full years of activities here--nearly 250 history/genealogy meetings and/or classes, over five thousand visiting researchers, thousands of email and face book and telephone questions answered.

We invite anyone and everyone who hasn't visited us to date--and of course anyone who has been here to visit or research--to visit the Research Center, look at our changing exhibits, and research or just visit.

-Mike, Annita, Serena, and Ernie
