Genesee County is making history. Starting this month and lasting until early May, Genesee County Historian Michael Eula will be featured on “Meet the Historian” on the Office of State History/The New York State Museum website. Four times a year, a historian will be chosen throughout the state in order to be featured.

“It’s really for the county,” Eula said. “It really advertises this county, which leads into things like grant applications and people just taking us increasingly seriously.” The department routinely fields requests from around the nation for everything from genealogy to information for academic research. Recently, the state historian of Connecticut showed up to do research after hearing about the county’s holdings.
