The Monroe County Historical Society was formed in 1959 when a passionate group of people discussed the importance of preserving our country history. They not only maintain our Historical Museum, the Kendall Place, Buxton - a once thriving coal mining town but are also home to the Genealogy group. There are many other historic exhibits showing the many changes our county has seen!

I'd like to begin by acknowledging the exceptional community we have. Our Haunted History Hike drew a remarkable crowd. I extend gratitude to all attendees for their support of the museum and King Opera House through generous donations and concession sales, which enables us to continue serving the community effectively. Special appreciation is also due to the numerous volunteers who made this event possible.

Thank you, Deb Zaputil!
