The WCHS has been in possession of original court records for years that date back to the origin of the county in 1839 and would like to make sure that these documents are preserved in case tragedy should strike. Grants occasionally arise making money available to get these documents scanned, so we need someone with grant writing skills to try and secure some funding to help us on that issue. If you can help or know of someone, please contact us at wchsmail@yahoo.com or call at 618-997-5863.
