Our Projects
"SCHGS goes to School..."
The Sullivan County Historical and Genealogical Society feels that our children are our greatest asset and we want to do our part in helping them to establish family values while enjoying a delightful learning experience.
Thus, we have designed a hands-on exercise and program to assist our young people in exploring the roots of their ancestry while obtaining the reward of possessing detailed documentation for their immediate pleasure and as a historical impact for generations to come.
Hopefully this project will enhance quality interaction of family members that will also become involved and share in the rewards of the student’s efforts.
During the month of February, SCHGS visited all Middle Schools and High Schools in Sullivan Co., TN and presented our School Genealogy Project Package consisting of all necessary research tools to outline and assist in a project of discovering family history. SCHGS will furnish each participating class with ample quantities of forms, charts, detailed research aids and guides.
We are also offering class group and individual tours of the Sullivan County Archives.
Although this program has been presented in our home base of Sullivan County, we will happily make the same project available to school classes anywhere. Please contact us by mail, by telephone (423) 323-4660 or through our website
