The Wilson County TN Archives is now located in it's new building which consists
of 20 rooms so they have plenty of room to grow and acquire more of the old
records of Wilson County.
Some of the books with worn bindings have recently been re-bound...
Some of their earliest records date back to 1802. (some of these are marriage records)
They also now have the Chancery Court records dating back to 1837, which were saved from the trash heap by Mr. Vincent Sims when they were being discarded....
Linda Grandstaff and Thomas Partlow are co-directors of the Archives...
Linda is there Monday thru Thursday, and Mr. Partlow is there on Fridays.
They are still setting up the Archives, with a lot of work going on, such
as new shelving, etc.... but Linda said there is a research room, and the
door is open to anyone who wants to research, depending upon the day's schedule.
The tentative hours are from 9 am to 12 noon, Monday thru Friday...
however, the Archives is NOT YET OFFICIALLY OPEN, but Linda or Mr. Partlow
are usually there at some point working, and they are willing to work with
people who want to visit as Linda's "working" schedule permits..
They would also welcome any volunteers who live in the area -
Contact Linda at the phone number below.
Wilson County's Bicentennial will start being celebrated on October 26,
1998....
The Archives plans to decorate their 90 foot hallway with pictures from the
various communities of Wilson County. They are looking for photos of old
schools, families, etc (which can be donated or loaned to them).
They would especially like photos which show background in them,
depictingWilson County as it used to be.
They want copies of family histories to display for the Bicentennial.
And they do plan to have a section for family histories that are
donated....
They welcome the donation of any books with emphasis on Wilson County,
Tennessee,
and a fund has been established to purchase books as they get donations of
money.
