Welcome to Kingsbury County

We are a very small county where we know most of the names in the county and their relatives. We are a small group trying to keep our history alive. We walked through the known cemeteries and are still finding more smaller ones. We collected many treasures like that box of old newspaper obituary clippings, the old church cookbook with the names of the cooks, the old school programs with the family names, church histories and many more.

We are fortunate to have archive space at the Lake Preston City Hall.

We would love to add you to our database so we can continue to link our lines. Send us a pedigree chart with your contact information.

Our history starts in the late 1870's when the railroads came into the county. Many of us realize what our families went through by reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and enjoy helping with the pageant at De Smet each summer.

We hope you will join us. We appreciate all the family histories that have been sent to us. We are thrilled when we can link you with cousins or neighbors who know where your lines went.

We meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 5:00 p.m. at various locations in the county. Email kcgs@itctel.com for more information.

If you are planning a trip this way let us help you.

Read more about our doings on our Society Info page. We hope the links to information we have posted on our other pages will help you.

I hope to hear from you soon.
