Genealogical & Historical Society Open House

Make sure to join the Jasper County Genealogical & Historical Society for an Open House this Saturday, October 4th, from 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM at the Mary Weems Parker Memorial Library in Heidelberg! 

Visitors will be able to browse genealogical resources, including Civil War and cemetery records, family histories, Jasper county histories, and more.
