Research

Researchers may visit our facility to personally conduct research in our materials. Our volunteers will answer requests in letters or emails, but not by telephone. An email request to our society will generally be acknowledged within 48 hours. Priority is given to our members in the order we answer requests, if necessary.

We ask that specific details be provided to enable a thorough search at THE FORT. We may sometimes recommend another place where you may find answers. We do not travel to other facilities for research.

All research income is donated to the society, not to the volunteer doing the research.

​Please make all checks payable to: Lexington Genealogical & Historical Society or THE FORT and mail to 318 W. Main Lexington, IL 61753 or pay online from this site.
