The Grayson County Historical Society is committed to preserving the history of Grayson County and asking all who are searching for their Grayson County “roots.” The Society has a vast amount of historical information about Grayson County, the state of Virginia, and surrounding areas. Genealogies, photographs, maps, newspaper articles, Civil War history, marriage certificates, original letters and journals are among the many reference materials that the Society has available to the public.

A highlight of the Society’s collection is a dress worn by Eleanor Roosevelt to the 1939 Whitetop Music Festival. The dress is currently preserved in an acid-free box. Roger Marshall is constructing a display case to museum-quality standards that will allow the dress to be loaned to other organizations for display.

The Society also publishes a quarterly newsletter that provides its members articles on local historical events and family history, as well as providing updates on the Society’s current activities.
