We recently rediscovered about 60 + early land grants at the museum. Some are on paper and others are on sheep skin. Due to a lack of space, the property description wasn’t included here but can be discovered by using the Contact Us tab or calling the museum. When the land was awarded to a veteran of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 or one of the incident Indian wars as a bounty, they are listed as Patentees. If the land was just purchased outright from the government, no patentee will be listed. Bounty land grants were often sold by the patentee.

The Land Grant Records can be accessed on the Records Tab, then Land Grants.
