Reference and Research Collection



The Marshall County History Museum has an extensive collection of genealogy records, census data, cemetery data, obituaries, marriage records, military records, funeral home records, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Plat Maps, Land Ownership Maps, Topographical Maps, Highway Maps, and so much more! Our collection centers around Marshall County, but also includes an ever-growing database of records from other counties in the Ohio Valley, and many records from across West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. During our Summer Hours from April - October, stop in on Mondays and most Saturdays, from 10:00-3:00, or by appointment, or during our Winter Hours from November to March on Saturdays, from 10:00-3:00. Let our friendly, knowledgeable members/volunteers help you find the information that you are searching for!
