    Great people!!! Super cordial and helpful!!! This facility…read moreis top notch for anyone working on their genealogy. Very organized files and very knowledgeable folks to help anyone who goes there

    Take a step back in time and discover your roots ! For…read morelovers of history and anyone interested in their ancestry, the newly expanded Wythe County Genealogic and Historical Association research center stands ready to assist with a library of over 1500 books, with records, letters and documents dating back to the 18th century. Nestled in the scenic mountains of southwest Virginia just off Interstate 81, the little town of Wytheville is a treasure trove of history of early America. Founded in the 1790's, Wytheville was a popular town for colonial tourists wanting to escape the summer heat of the deep South, the altitude providing cooler pleasant summers. There are plenty of winding mountain roads for scenic drives and panoramic views. Wytheville Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places, as are many of the beautiful old buildings and churches in town. Edith Bolling Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's first lady was born in Wytheville. Stephen Austin, the "father of Texas" was born in Wythe County. A team of volunteers at the research center/library/museum is eager to help you. The managers say their only "problem" is that everyone who volunteers there loves the place and they are often found standing on the doorstep when it opens, whether or not it's their day to work. Biographies, research on the Civil and Revolutionary Wars, maps, old photographs and information on First Families of Virginia are all part of their library. Selected literature can be purchased online at their website for those who need in-depth detail, including wills, birth, death and marriage records. There is even a family recipe book. Local historians and genealogy enthusiasts have seized the opportunity to preserve the history of the early days and to share it with all visitors, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles to make their inquiries. 800 visitors and counting this year alone ! Nonprofit, no admission charge, open weekdays. Visited June 2015
