WILMINGTON — Enjoy learning more about your county and your townships as the second in the series of monthly Township Talks is set for this Saturday — with the focus on Liberty, Richland, Wayne, and Wilson Townships.

The Clinton County Genealogical and Historical Societies is placing a spotlight on the community’s townships during these special research events hosted once a month from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. June to September with select townships featured monthly.

During these events, the Societies open their doors and provide you with all the materials you need to learn about Clinton County as a whole.

These Township Talks will be open to both members and non-members at no cost. The Societies ask for a donation if you find your visit well worth your while.

Family tree forms, research charts, and Celebrating Clinton County pencils will be given by the Genealogical Society.

For kiddos who visit, Clinton County coloring sheets and crayons will be given to children age 7 and under. A short museum scavenger hunt will be offered by the Historical Society throughout the featured day.

Both organizational missions include the preservation of Clinton County’s history and genealogy. The Genealogical & Historical Societies rely on memberships and donations to operate.

To learn more, please visit www.ClintonCountyHistory.org and save the upcoming dates on your calendar.

For those who visit during a “Township Talks” event, their name will be entered into a drawing for a variety of fun prizes. The township with the most participation will receive a free copy of the “Census of 1860 for Clinton County” book on behalf of the Societies.

Share your knowledge of Clinton County’s townships, too, by submitting your research or facts to [email protected] . If selected, they will be added to research files for future use and you could win a prize.

Future Township Talks are:

• Saturday, August 27 – Adams, Chester, Marion, and Vernon Twps.

• Saturday, September 24 – Union Twp./City of Wilmington
