Grady County Historical Society
A Foundation Hard at Work
The Grady County Historical Society, Inc. was organized in March of 1966. Through the efforts of Miss Wessie Connell, the public librarian for many years, a group of about 45 citizens met at the Roddenbery Memorial Library and set the dues at 50 cents for families and 25 cents for individuals. In 1993 the Society received its Certificate of Incorporation and a 501(c)(3) status as a non-profit organization.
The Society’s goals: To discover, collect, and disseminate any material which may help to establish, illustrate or educate the general public to the history of the area; including its exploration, settlement, development, and activities in peace and in war, and its advancement in population, wealth, education, arts, science, agriculture, manufacturers, trade and transportation.
The material may include printed material such as histories, genealogies, biographies, descriptions, gazetteers, directories; manuscript material such as letters, diaries, journals, memoranda reminiscences, rosters, service records, account books, charts, surveys, and field books; and museum material such as pictures, photographs, paintings, portraits, scenes, aboriginal artifacts, and material objects illustrative of life, conditions, events, and activities of the past and the present.
