***FOUNTAIN
COUNTY
HISTORY PROJECT***
The
Fountain County Genealogy Society is proud to announce that we are now
accepting submissions of family histories, organization histories, and
others that have Fountain County connections and may wish to be included in
the 4th History of Fountain County, to be published in 2012 or 2013.
Due to the magnitude of this project, we are trying to allow sufficient time
to allow for timely preparation by submitters, and time to properly format
the book and make certain that it contains as much information as
possible.
"Getting Started" packets have
been announced in the newspaper media, and are available at our research
library, as well as the Covington and Veedersburg Library. Now, this
same information is also available here on the web. Follow this link
to the General Directions sheet and
get started now! We are looking forward to a very exciting project and
hope YOU will be a part of it! Contact us if you have any questions or
comments!

"It is my wish that my home be used as a cultural and educational center for the benefit of Veedersburg and the surrounding area. It is my wish that the center be used partially to house a library, but hope and trust that it can be used as a broader cultural and learning center, including, but not limited to sculpture, architecture, painting and music."
--will of George d'Arlier
