Memorial Day is May 30th. The Brown County Genealogical Society will again be having our Memorial Day flower fund raiser. We (volunteers from the society) will place flowers on your ancestor’s grave in Brown County, for a donation. It is $10 per cemetery for one grave/headstone and $1 for each additional grave/headstone in that same cemetery. We have a number of nice flower arrangements that have been donated by members. Please be sure to tell us which cemetery your ancestor is in and if you know, a brief description of the headstone/grave marker as well as location in the cemetery (if you don’t know it is not a problem we have many maps and we should be able to find it.)
Beginning January 5th we will be open ONLY on Thursdays! We will continue these hours until April 4th when Summer hours will start. During inclement weather or extreme cold we will not be open. Please call ahead.
