Saltillo Historical Society The Saltillo Historical Society is committed to collecting, preserving, and making available materials of enduring historical value for Saltillo, MS.

This friends page is sponsored by the Saltillo Historical Committee which is an advisory group originally appointed by the Mayor to help identify artifacts and properties of historical significance to the community, prioritize their importance, and develop suggestions for fundraising and preservation. The role of the committee has since expanded to include the establishment and maintenance of a Saltillo History and Genealogy Room located at the R.B. Robison Resource Center on Mobile Street. Here, we collect, preserve, and share the rich history and heritage of the Saltillo area. Our goal for this page is to provide a "meeting place" for anyone interested in preserving the history of Saltillo and the genealogy of Saltillo families, to provide a vehicle for exchanging ideas and information, and to provide a platform for finding people interested in helping with Committee and History Room projects.

Saltillo Historical Society Monthly Meeting

Our monthly meeting will be held this Monday, and we are going to begin with a special tour of Lonnie Neaves’ collection of memorabilia.

Lonnie has a vast collection of memories and memorabilia from Saltillo, including items that tell the story of his family and our community. We will leave the Historical Center at 9:45 a.m. and travel to his home for the tour.

After the tour, we will return to the Historical Center for a short business meeting.

Speaking of meetings, our mission up to this point has been to establish our organization, put basic procedures in place, develop our mission and goals, and begin collecting items that preserve the history of Saltillo.

During the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, we opened our center to give the community a glimpse of what we have been working toward. It was a great success and gave us even more encouragement to continue moving forward.

Hopefully, we are getting closer to opening our doors to the public in the next few months. Each of you has played—and will continue to play—an important part in helping us reach that goal.

There is still much work to be done, but we are excited about what the future holds for the Saltillo Historical Society.

Please stay tuned for more information and updates. We are getting closer!
