Historic Homes in Williamsburg

Synder House

For the past three years, the chapter has produced a calendar of photographs of historic homes and churches in Williamsburg. The home shown above is the Snyder/Carson home, which was built around 1884 and was the first brick home in Whitley County. All the calendars were produced with photographs by Laurel Fuson, chapter member.

Whitley County Book

.

Our chapter is also proud of Whitley County, Kentucky History and Families, a book which our chapter, along with the Whitley County History Book Committee, helped compile. It includes Whitley County community histories and histories of businesses, churches, schools, and families of Whitley County from 1818-1993.
