Sands of Time

Keeping our members informed 
and entertained!

View the contents of our most recent issue

  The Union County Historical Society publishes a quarterly newsletter for all current members.  "The Sands of Time" is published in January, April, July and October. Each issue is ten pages, filled with stories about Union County history and the  pioneers. We also include minutes from our monthly meetings, letters from our readers, a list of new members, donations, acquisitions and many other items of interest to our members. Once a year, in the Summer Edition, we publish a complete membership list and in the Winter Edition we bring you the Annual Report.

The newsletter was first published in 1988 at the start of the Historical Society. At that time, Cathleen Curry was editor, and she remained in that position until December, 1998. Cathleen retired as editor after those 10 years, and Joni Kjar took over the duties beginning with the Winter 1999 edition.

With the Winter 1999 Edition, the newsletter also took on a new format. This has enabled us to include much more information in each issue. Most of the information in our newsletter is generously provided to us by members, and we welcome any article you think would be appropriate for our publication.
