| Some
good news, the Old Jail is
going to have a new "face
lift" starting Nov 2011. We
secured a grant from the
Historical Commission to
remove the paint, clean and
restore the brick, and replace
the roof. We are excited about
this as improving the looks of
the building will be more
attractive to our visitors
and, of course, improve the
appearance of the downtown
area. |

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
news-letter twice a year, Our
Mountain Heritage that is mailed
out to our members. 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, located in
the Old
County Jail on Jail Street in
Sneedville Tennessee.
