ICHS Bookstore
The Iron County Historical Society is pleased to offer a wide variety of books, CDs, and recorded presentations to our patrons. While most are focused on Iron County’s history or the family history of its citizens, we also have some books related to other nearby counties as well. Note too that although a book may be categorized under history or genealogy, in many cases, these books could equally qualify under both categories. Where an electronic index to a book is available, that index will appear in the list of books under the Book Index tab immediately below the Bookstore tab.
