Welcome

Mercer County Historical Society, Inc.
P.O. Box 5012
Princeton, WV   24740

Our January meeting will be held on January 26th, 2010 at 6:00 PM and the business meeting at 7:00 PM as always, weather permitting this time of the year

Your prayers, get well wishes and cards are encouraged for our MCHS member "Ottie" Sylvia Pruett. Mail your cards to her at 317 Garnet Street, Princeton, WV  24740.

The "History House" is available for small wedding receptions, meetings, anniversaries and birthday celebrations. We can accommodate about 25 persons and we can cater the event if you so desire. We can prepare something as simple as finger foods or a full dinner. A fee will be charged for room rental if a group has someone else cater or bring in their own food.

Now that our kitchen is complete, we are in need of commercial pots and baking pans. If you could help, please send us a donation to help purchase these items. We use the kitchen to cater meetings and small dinners. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

The Historical Society is collecting aluminum cans. If you have cans that need to be picked up, call Lois at 304-487-0559

  WANTED: The Mercer County Historical Society is in the process of creating a new book, Cemeteries in Mercer County WV. If you know of a cemetery, even if it is only one grave, send us the  information by one of the following 2 ways; 1) write to us at the address shown above, or 2) E-mail us by clicking the MCHS president link below. Please include the name of the cemetery, names and dates of all whom are burried there. (If you are unable to do this, notify us anyway and we will document it.) We will need very good directions on how to find it, and your name and a way to contact you. Please send in you information as soon as possible as this will be a very lengthy project.
