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

newspapers.  Several people have

encouraged John to compile these won-

derful 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 (down

town) carries this book as well.  Rush County Bicentennial, A Historic Perspective, 1822-2022  are $35.  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.
