We have an AmazonSmile account. What is that you ask? It is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization (which we hope is the Rush County Genealogical Society, of course).

You can learn more about this program at this webpage. Check it out today!

​This year marks the Bicentennial for Rush County and our organization is participating. Please visit our Bicentennial page to find out more about it!

​Have you still not viewed our cemetery videos? We partnered with 'History in Your Own Backyard' a few years back to produce a baker's dozen Rush County cemetery videos.  Have a look at the details on our Cemetery Videos page!
