The Knox Historical Museum's Genealogy Center was established in Spring 2006 following extensive donations from the Knox County Genealogical Society and the Hermina Brinkmeier collections. In 2012, the KHM's Genealogy Center's collection was expanded even further with signifcant donations from the Corbin Genealogical Society, which closed its offices after many years of operation.The KHM's Genealogy Center is located in separate offices from the museum on the second floor of the Barbourville City Hall. It is open year-round during the same hours as the museum, and by appointment. Messages can be left on the museum's answering machine at (606) 546-7581. You can also contact us via email at khmgenealogy@gmail.com.
