Family history files and genealogy books
Available for research in the library
The Warren County Historical Society’s Research Library contains a variety of files and books on family histories
Family history files typically include photos, newspaper clippings, miscellaneous records, and other small bits and pieces of information that can lead to big breakthroughs in research. These files have been collected over the years on hundreds of families who have passed through Warren County.
Family history books are collections of stories and records, often with a narrative but sometimes not. These books are usually produced by an ancestor or someone who did extensive research on a family or surname, collected the information into a book, and either published or donated a copy to the Research Library.

KWRE still going strong after seventy-five years
KWRE Radio has been broadcasting from Warren County for 75 years. The station’s formula has always been simple: authenticity.
Warrenton’s Teen Town was the place with “everything the heart of the youth craves” for over 20 years
“Youngsters, particularly those still in school, need a place of their own where they can dance, sing, play games, and have a soda bar.” The answer came in the form of Teen Towns, a popular nationwide trend that lasted a generation.
