We are only in the office on Wednsdays between 11 and 3. We will return your call.

Gathering information about our past is time consuming but never tedious or boring.

You may join us by donating some of your time in our search and preservation of Gilmer County West Virginia history. Coming straight from the people who experienced it. Don’t trust someone else to tell your story.

Let us help you save it like the ‘Songcatchers’ of the past, who recorded the beautiful music of the Appalachian people.
