we need your support !



The Hocking County Historical and Genealogical Society has been given an opportunity through a grant from the Hocking Hills Tourism Association to upgrade our facilities so that we can reopen safely.

Our museum complex needs some TLC maintenance including furnace and electrical replacement and we need your help.

The grant is a challenge grant where every dollar donated will be matched by the Tourism Association , up to $6,231.00 to complete the work.

Hocking County has a rich heritage

Please invest now to save the past for the future!
