The historical society has been in existence since the 1960s and has been involved in renovation projects, as well as preservation of historical documents.
Clark said when the county seats were consolidated in the 1960s, many records were abandoned at Powhatan. The society rescued the documents, and they were stored in the Powhatan Courthouse, which is now part of a state park.
