Walk Toward The Sunset

Old County Jail - Sneedville TN
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.
