Vigo County Timeline of History
Chat with a Librarian
Coverage of historical information from Vigo County Indiana begins with 1800 and continues to the present. Presently, coverage is most complete for businesses, churches, and organizations; however, the contents will be continually expanded and updated as additional information becomes available. Subject indexes are arranged alphabetically.
The compilation of this information is coordinated by Dorothy Weinz Jerse, a local historian. This project would not have been possible without the help and cooperation of the many businesses, organizations, churches, educational institutions, and dedicated individuals of Vigo County.
