Christmas is Coming - A Great Gift Idea
Over the past few years, we have enjoyed stories
about the history of Rush County written by our Rush
County Historian, John Wilson. Many of these stories
have appeared in our Newsletters and local news-
papers. Several people have encouraged John to
compile these wonderful stories into a book. Now,
after many long hours of hard work, that book is now
available for us to read and learn about our
rich Rush County history.
The Museum has books available at this time.
Mocha Moose carries this book as well.
Rush County Bicentennial, A Historic Perspective, 1822-2022 are $25. This is a large, hard bound book featuring 30 stories with color photographs illustrations. The printing of this book was made possible by a generous gift from Lois Liggett. Your donation by cash or check should be made payable to the Rush County Historical Society (tax is not applicable). All proceeds from this book are being donated to the Rush County Historical Society. So when you receive this book you not only help support your Rush County Historical Society, but also keep the stories of Rush County alive.
