...Portraits Continued
In May of 2024, the CCHGS purchased and moved into the old PNC Bank building located at 50 West Main Street in Bloomsburg. The new building has room for them to display many of their historical items, books, and it also has a research area. It may take awhile to get everything unpacked for guests to see, but at least they finally have room to do so. Along with all the historical data for Columbia County, the CCHGS also has research material on adjoining counties. Their research library is extensive and continually growing. A card catalog is available on their website and in their facility. They also offer genealogy workshops and sponsor public programs. The CCHGS is currently open to the public: Tuesdays from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm Wednesdays from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Thursdays from 1:00 am – 5:00 pm Fridays from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm More hours may become available as volunteers are acquired. Visit their website at colcohist-gensoc.org to start your research!
