Bring along your old photographs of people and places around Washington County, Indiana to be digitally scanned and added to the Washington County Historical Society’s collection. Scanned copies of photos and documents added to our archives will last forever and will be incredible tools for county citizens and researchers alike. 

Photos of Washington County families, bygone businesses, churches, and historic homes
are welcome. You can keep your originals while scanned copies are added to our records. Bring along your own flash drive and we will be happy to share the scanned copies with you!
