Iron County Historical Society Store

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 in the Footer Menu. 

All books are priced in U.S. dollars and, as we are a non-profit organization, there is no sales tax charged on any of our books. When checking out, you will have the option to print your order and mail it with a check or to check out using a credit card through PayPal. NOTE: You do not need to be a member of PayPal to check out using this method, just choose the link below the login screen for PayPal that reads -- "Don't have a PayPal account?" -- and then use the form to "Pay with a debit or credit card" to check out as a guest. 

Note that all book sales are final.   Member and Non-Member prices are the same.
