In the RCHS Research Library, there is a bookshelf area dedicated to the cemeteries of Renville County. RCHS would like to POOL the resources across the county that have cemetery records in their possession, cemetery maps, and other information that should be preserved. RCHS can scan documents and photographs up to 11″ x17″. RCHS is also gathering oversized items to be scanned through a potential grant. Contact Nicole at the Museum 507-697-6147 if you have information to share. ** means gravesite not cemetery.
