The Historical Association is dedicated in preserving our past. Through, the research of Family Histories (Genealogy), cemetery readings, replacement of Veterans Markers, restoring the lost history from the coal camps, stone quarries, and the hard working farmer.
Our projects center around preservation. The Historical Association is in the process of funding a Miners Memorial and park to pay tribute to the 149 men who died in the Federal No.3 Mine. A memorial service is held annually for these men in Everettville, Monongalia County, West Virginia. This will pave the way for other miners memorials to be placed in the park. We are waiting on Consolidation Coal Company to donate the property at the pit-mouth.
The Veterans Marker Replacement Program was initiated on May 28, 2006. The purpose is to replace Veterans Markers as they become unreadable. None of our Veterans should lay in unmarked graves.
The areas we encompass are Marion and Monongalia Counties, WV.
