McMinn County Historical Society and Archives
McMinn County Historical Society and Archives was established in 1959. Its object is to preserve the history of Tennessee, and particularly of McMinn County.
​
In January 2022, the McMinn County Historical Society and Archives moved to a new building where it currently stands: 107 W. College Street in Athens. With more space, equipment, faster internet speeds, high resolution digitization projects, updates to the archives, and a host of awesome volunteers, the MCHSA is looking forward to a brighter future.
​
The archives are open 10 am - 2 pm on weekdays. The Society meets on the first Sunday of each month at 2:00 pm October through May in the Blue Room of the courthouse. Up-to-date meeting announcements and other events will be posted on our Facebook page.
​
Officers:
Tyler L. Boyd - President
Jordan Carter - Vice President
Jason Wright - Recording Secretary
Steven Sherlin - Corresponding Secretary
Donald Hoppel - Treasurer
​
Joe Guy - Historian/Archivist
