The WCHS collects printed and manuscript materials, maps, photographs, postcards, diaries and letters, memorabilia, video and audio materials, artifacts, and other items which have been created or used in Warren County or are otherwise relevant to the history of the surrounding region. A collections management policy establishes rules, guidelines, and procedures for the acquisition, care, preservation, public access, and de-accessioning of items. Co-collections managers administer the policy in conjunction with a collections committee made up of members of the Society’s Board of Trustees. If you have an item you wish to donate or have a question about our collections and archives, please contact us.
Exhibits
Adjacent to the main gallery, a room for rotating exhibits will be available to area historians, historical societies, or individuals who have an interesting, relevant historical display to share. If you are interested, please contact us for more info.





Warren County 360: Celebrating Place and People

Guests will learn about the magnificent tapestry of Warren County through viewing artifacts from our vast collections, reading narrative panels featuring new and engaging research and historical interpretation, and experiencing several activity stations and interactive kiosks.
