It has been brought to our attention that Amazon no longer supports the AmazonSmile account program. We thank all of those who have supported us in the past by using this program!
We were proud to have participated in the Bicentennial for Rush County and hope you enjoyed that as well. We still for now have our Bicentennial page, and encourage you to visit there to help recall the festivities!
Please be sure to check for the latest updates on our What's New page!
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!
