Knox County Historical Society

The Knox County Historical Society is fortunate to have over 900 family files on records. These and other resources are available for your genealogy research. If you are unable to come in to the museum, you can request volunteer look-ups. Because of the increasing number of requests we are receiving, we have adopted the following fee schedule, which helps to offset costs of maintaining our archives in offering these services.
