Events
Photograph nights, walking tours, suppers, and recording days — the calendar is how the archive gets refilled, one conversation at a time.
This Season
Meetings are open to anyone with an interest in the town — members, neighbors, and visiting descendants alike. No registration needed unless noted.
Bring one photograph nobody in your family can identify. We project them, pass the magnifier, and more often than not somebody in the room puts a name to a face.
A two-hour walking tour of the burial grounds south of town, reading the oldest legible stones and the families buried around them. Sturdy shoes advised.
Drop in with a surname and leave with a research plan. Volunteers sit one-on-one with visitors through deeds, census pages, and church rolls.
We record and transcribe memories of life in Bradfordsville — school days, tobacco seasons, flood years, store fronts. Sessions run about forty minutes.
Our yearly gathering for families who came from here and families who stayed. Covered dishes, surname tables, and a short program from the archive.
A day of fun and food with friends and neighbors. A 5K race, pie eating contest - or just pie eating! Kids zone, 3 on 3 Basketball, Duck Derby, Big Wheel races kids and adults, frog jumping contest, and more!
How It Works
The society meets four times a year, with programs drawn from the archive and from whoever in the room has a story worth recording. Coffee at six, program at six-thirty.
