Hancock County Tennessee Historical and Genealogical Society

The Hancock County Tennessee Historical and Genealogical Society's mission is the collection, preservation, and publication of our county's history and genealogy. The Society publishes a quarterly news-letter, Our Mountain Heritage that is mailed out to our members in January, April, July, and October of each year. Primary emphasis is on the publication of local records that are not available elsewhere. Bible records, old letters and post cards, old news-paper articles, oral history and local church records are published when available.

The Hancock County Tennessee Historical and Genealogical Society is a non-profit organization.
