could someone give me general directions to the historical society, please? i live in KY and have never been there before, but will be making a trip soon. Are there any other places with records I should stop by while I'm there? What hours are they (the historical society) open? Thank you for any help you can give me. Meg

I guess you are referring to the Marion County Genealogical & Historical Society which is the only one I know about. It is located in the Bryan-Bennett Library at Salem. I believe there is usually someone there on Wednesdays during library hours (Noon - 8:00p.m.) which may be able to help you. You will find the library just west of the courthouse, about two blocks on Highway 50. Since you would probably be coming off of Interstate 57 onto Highway 50. Turn left at the stoplight at the end of the exit ramp. The courthouse will be downtown just a little over a mile and the library will be on the right about 2 block before that. So watch for it. It depends on what other records you want to search. Centralia's library is located 15 miles south west of Salem and has the Centralia Sentinel on film that you can use to find obits. That paper is most likely to have them for a large area. Mt. Vernon's library (20 miles south) also has a very large holding of genealogical information. Here are phone numbers for each in case you want to call ahead and confirm this information. Salem - Bryan Bennett Library: (618) 548-7784 Centralia Library: (618) 532-5222 Mt. Vernon - C.E.Brehm Memorial Library : (618) 242-6322 Hope this helps. Have a good trip. ----- Original Message ----- From: <VelvetDove2002@aol.com> To: <ILMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 3:17 PM Subject: [ILMARION] directions to historical society, please > could someone give me general directions to the historical society, please? i > live in KY and have never been there before, but will be making a trip soon. > Are there any other places with records I should stop by while I'm there?
