Committees/Projects

Our Committees

Currently the MCHC has several working projects, and several active committees:

Rural Schools Committee: Members are currently in the process of collecting pictures of the many old rural schools that once were operational in the County. At one time, Montague County had 182 individual school districts! For more information, email Beckey Scott at: mchccommonschools@gmail.com.

Montague County Poor Farm Committee: Members are currently in the process of collecting photos, information, and stories regarding Montague County's Poor Farm in existence from 1888 to 1939. For more information, email Gale Cochran-Smith: galecsmith@gmail.com

Book Publications Committee: Members are in the process of restructuring and re-releasing our past publications for online purchase. For more information, email Gale Cochran-Smith at galecsmith@gmail.com.

Our Events

The MCHC conducts round-table meetings on a regular basis that are held in different parts of the County and cover various historical topics. These Forums create a better awareness and appreciation of the County's history by the public. We also hold periodic rolling tours of various sections of the County, and support acquisition of historical markers for cemeteries and other historically significant sites. We also sponsor guest lecturers in a wide variety of topics relating to the County history and work with other related groups and organizations to foster an appreciation of our unique history.
