Every year the Knott County Historical & Genealogical Society & Library, Inc., in conjunction with the Knott County Gingerbread Festival honors a particular family. For 1999 the Collins family will be honored, usually with a collection of information, most often, in book form, to be exhibited in a Collins' museum at the Society.
