Do you have an interest in Nevada & Vernon County in Missouri? Now is your chance to get a good deal on new local history volumes. The following is excerpted from a much longer article in the October 3, 2009 edition of the Fort Scott Tribune:
The two-volume set “Nevada & Vernon County Heritage 1855-2005 Pass It On!” family history book has been marked down to $75 for the set.
The original price was $100 a set; but with several books left to sell, the Vernon County Historical Society wants to get them out to the reading public. You can pick up a set at the Bushwhacker Museum, or write to them at Bushwhacker Museum, 212 W. Walnut, Nevada, MO 64772. If you have them mailed to you instead of picking them up, you will have to pay postage.
There are more than 850 pages total with 550 pages of family histories. You may have been one of the local families that wrote and contributed your family’s history for the books!
