The Hancock County Tennessee Historical and Genealogical Society's mission is the collection, preservation, and publication of our county's history and genealogy. The Society publishes a quarterly news-letter, Our Mountain Heritage that is mailed out to our members in January, April, July, and October of each year. Primary emphasis is on the publication of local records that are not available elsewhere. Bible records, old letters and post cards, old news-paper articles, oral history and local church records are published when available. The Hancock County Tennessee Historical and Genealogical Society is a non-profit organization, located in the Old County Jail on Jail Street in Sneedville Tennessee.

Membership in the society is $20.00 per year. New members will receive the next four issues of Our Mountain Heritage To join the Society, print the membership application and send the completed form along with the appropriate dues to:
