Sullivan County, Indiana Museum Seeks Public’s Help to Identify Historic Photos

The Sullivan County History Museum needs your help. The museum says it has thousands of photos with no labels or information. It’s asking people to take a look and see if they recognize the people or places in the photos.

The museum curator says many people use these historic photos in their genealogy research. She hopes identifying these photos will help give families a more complete history.

“If I had photos out there of my family history, I would want to know about that. I would be really sad if I lost that part of my family history. And there is potentially someone out there who has lost that history,” said Katiesha Benson, museum curator.

You can view some of the unknown photos on the history museum’s Facebook page. The museum also invites you to stop by during the Corn Festival this week to look at the photos in person.
