Laura: I would like the membership information, and list of books available for purchase. I have asked for and received research from the Crawford County Historical Society in the past and without its help would not have been successful in tracing my heritage. The society provides a valuable service. This is an organization that should be treasured by the community. Finding out where we came from seems to matter to more people than ever. It seems to me that the membership of $15 per year is a very small price to pay, and if possible and if it would be helpful, I for one would be happy to see the dues raised. Please sign me up to be a member.
