Purpose of the Bland County Historical Society
The purpose of the Bland County Historical Society is to bring together
those people interested in history, and especially the history of Bland
County. Understanding the history of our community is basic to our
democratic way of life, gives us a better understanding of our state and
nation, and promotes a better appreciation of our American heritage.
The
Society’s major function is to
discover and collect any material which may help to establish or
illustrate the history of the area.
It
provides for the preservation of
such material and for its
accessibility, as far as may be feasible, to all who wish to examine
or study it.
Through the Society’s office, the Bogle Library and this website,
assistance with historical and
genealogical questions is offered.
Bland County historical Society is a 501c 3 Non-Profit organization
