COLLECTION REUNITED WITH FAMILY
THE LEGACY OF GEORGE WOODS KUHN
The T. Elmer Cox Genealogical & Historical Library is pleased to formally return the collection of World War II letters written by George Woods Kuhn to his family in Gahanna, Ohio.
While local history repositories strive to preserve the stories of the past, we firmly believe that personal family treasures belong with the generations who carry that legacy forward. Knowing that these letters are heading home to Ohio—where they truly belong—brings us a great deal of joy.
Thank you for allowing us to play a small part in reuniting your family with a piece of its history. May these letters continue to be preserved, shared, and valued for generations to come.
NEW GALLERY EXHIBIT FOR 2026
"DEFENDING LIBERTY & ESTABLISHING LEGACY"
This new display serves as a historical gateway into the formative years of Greene County, Tennessee. It chronicles the transition of the region from a rugged frontier to a cornerstone of the 16th state in the Union. At the heart of the exhibit is the pivotal role played by local frontiersmen in the American Revolution. It highlights the Battle of Kings Mountain (1780), where the "Overmountain Men"—many from the Greene County area—marched across the Appalachians to deliver a decisive blow against British loyalist forces. This victory is presented not just as a military feat, but as the catalyst for the region’s distinct identity.
