Phillips County Museum News for May 20, 2015

Australia, Switzerland, and Canada visitors walked through the PC Museum’s doors this week. Genealogy was on the top of the list for the Australian couple. They were researching the names Groder and Orke. The staff was able to find the land patents for their ancestors, a copy of a marriage license, confirmation and baptism records and an Enterprise article publishing a list of citizens that were becoming naturalized. Much to their surprise they found their ancestor was English! After a drive around the county Australia will be going home happy!

Fair photos or memorabilia are still at the top of our list. If you have any photos please bring them in so we can scan and display for the 100 year celebration. What a great milestone for Phillips County. Our roots go deep and our commitment goes even deeper! Congratulation to each resident of Phillips County.

Here at the PC Museum we continue to keep our history and traditions alive. Please join us Monday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
