Newville Historical Society

Housed in the former Warren Welch home which was built in the 1860s by S. J. McCannen, the Society has a museum with three display rooms and a non-circulating research library which contains an extensive collection of genealogies on area families, a photographic library and an obituary collection. Five times a year, the Society sponsors presentations on locally relevant topics led by well-known and knowledgeable speakers designed to engage and educate the membership and the community. Membership in the Society is open to anyone with an interest in the history of the Newville and Big Spring areas. The Newville Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and, as such, welcomes tax-deductible donations.
