Saltillo Historical Society

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 Sa

ltillo 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.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Paul Wayne Winters and his comprehensive analysis of Saltillo and its impact on the Civil War. His meticulous research provided valuable insights into the causes and consequences of the war on Saltillo, the local community, and the broader region. The presentation was complemented by an engaging question-and-answer session, which sparked further discussion among attendees. Refreshments, including hard tack bread, and period music performed by Kathy Brown and the Mike Gusmus family, added to the evening's ambiance. The Saltillo Historical Society provided memorabilia from our collection of Civil War artifacts to also enhance the evening as well.Paul Wayne also donated a cannon ball and map to the museum. We also must recognize his family for their presence at his presentation. Approximately 80 individuals attended the event, all of whom appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The evening's success was further underscored by several new members joining our historical society. A video recording of the event was captured and will be available once edited. We invite you to peruse the accompanying photographs and consider joining our group by leaving a comment.

Please attend this meeting, a once in a lifetime opportunity.
