Our library and museum contain a unique mixture of information sources that are primarily about Warren County, Iowa. There are scrapbooks and files of obituaries, towns, schools, churches, civic and social organizations, and events. There are county records such as tax records, probates, wills, civil court cases, Warren County census, atlases, cemetery records and history books. There are collections of clippings, photos, and family histories. Many of these records are, to a minor or major amount incomplete. We are indexing them and will place the index on our website. Our initial project is the obituaries
If you cannot travel to Indianola, we will research our materials for you. Please use this link to view or print the Research document for details and prices.
