Local History

Russell County was formed in 1786 out of Washington County. Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Scott, Tazewell, and Wise Counties were later formed in whole or in part from Russell County. The Local History Room at the Lebanon Library has an extensive collection containing local history and authors as well as extensive genealogical material. There is also a small local history collection available at the Honaker Library. The information below may assist you in conducting genealogical research.
