FCHS depends on volunteers to host the museum and do a lot of the work, produce its festivals, gather history. We have 3 big festivals: Redbud Trail Rendezvous the last weekend of April, Historical Power Show third weekend of June, and Trail of Courage Living History Festival third weekend of September. We have 4 branches: Genealogy Section that publishes Fulton County Folk Finder, Potawatomi Trail of Death Assn. that erected historical markers & highway signs on 660 mile 1838 Trail of Death from Indiana to Kansas, Fulton County Historical Power Assn. that produces the antique tractor & power show, and Blacksmiths that teach ironworking the second Saturday of each month in blacksmith shop on FCHS grounds.
