present Greene County Historical & Genealogical
Society was reorganized in 1987. The address of the society is
120 North 12th Street, Paragould, Arkansas. The e-mail address

The purpose of this organization is to preserve
our past history and to encourage people to gather information
on their families. The Greene County Historical and Genealogical
Society of Greene County have been very active in restoring records
in our old 1888 Greene County Courthouse. We have many publications
available for sale and have recently published a Greene County
Family History book which is for sale in the Lipscomb room.

The Society meets the second Thursday evening of
each month (except summer months) at 7:00 P.M. at the First Methodist
Church, 404 W. Main St., Paragould, AR. There are no meeting
in the months of June, July and August.

Membership in the Society runs from Jan. 1 through
