Grayson County Historical Society

The Grayson County Historical Society, founded in 1974, is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing information about the history of Grayson County and Southwest Virginia. Located in the historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence, the Society offers a wealth of resources, including genealogies, photographs, maps, and original letters, to researchers and visitors alike.

A notable highlight of the Society's collection is a dress worn by Eleanor Roosevelt, displayed in a museum-quality cabinet. The Society also provides research services for those interested in family or historical inquiries, with fees supporting its mission to preserve the region's rich history.
