The Williamson County Historical Society Museum and Library has switched over to its winter hours of operation. From Thanksgiving till March 1 the museum goes down to being open on Saturdays only from 9:30 till 3:00 P.M. The building runs on a gas fired boiler for radiator heat and costs about $400 a month just to keep it at 55 degrees so this saves on heat costs. In addition, this time of the year is when volunteers get an opportunity to rework displays and do maintenance work on the building which we normally wouldn’t have time for the rest of the year.
Everyone is encouraged to visit the museum on Saturdays through the holiday season and learn about local history and how early families had to live their lives. Perhaps, this may also be the time to start doing some family genealogy which we are very geared for in our library. Even if you haven’t started researching your family yet, we can help you with that as well.
For the experienced family researchers, don’t forget that we have an extensive book indexing system on our website with about three quarters of a million references relating back to our library research material or early court records. If you find something of interest in our indexes, just email us the book source and page number and we can scan the page and email it back to you.
