SUMMARY:35th North Arkansas Ancestor Fair
DESCRIPTION:A Two-Day Genealogical Event in North Arkansas\n\n\n\nJune 5-6\, 2026 \n\n\n\nTo brag on your North Arkansas ancestors\, or to learn about them\, go to the 35th North Arkansas Ancestor Fair June 5 & 6\, 2025. \n\n\n\nOn Friday afternoon\, four local history and genealogy speakers will present great information about local history and genealogy at the Searcy County Library from 1:00 to 5:00\, followed by a mixer-dinner to make early contacts from 5:30 to 8:30 at Los Locos Mexican Restaurant.  \n\n\n\nOn Saturday from 9:00 to 3:00 at the Veterans Hall in Marshall\, family genealogists\, local historians\, and north-central Arkansas county historians will be there to help researchers. People who want to share information will be provided with a table and chairs to display their information. WiFi is available.  \n\n\n\nThe Searcy County Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) organization that hosts monthly history presentations in Marshall and hosts the annual Ancestor Fair on the 1st Friday and Saturday in June. Founded in 1989 by James Johnston\, the North Arkansas Ancestor Fair has since been held at various locations throughout Searcy County\, with up to 500 participants in some years.  \n\n\n\nWhen asked to explain what an Ancestor Fair is\, one involved person said\, “It’s a genealogical swap shop.” A local dentist described the Ancestor Fair as a place where people went to show off their ancestors. Both statements are correct. Gatherers come to the Ancestor Fair looking for information. Providers display and share their information because they enjoy helping others\, but also because they are proud of their research and would like a bit of appreciation for their years of work. \n\n\n\nFor additional info\, contact Thereisa Housley at rafter@ozarkisp.netand http://ancestorfair.us Schedule:  \n\n\n\nFriday\, June 5\, from 1:00-5:00 p.m.Searcy County Library202 East Main StreetMarshall\, AR 726501:00 pm James J.
