Curious about Granville's history? Then our Pocket History books are a great place to start!

Since 2011, the Granville Historical Society has published nine bite-sized, "Pocket History" books. They are written by local experts about specific events or topics in Granville's past. Each book is meant to be a quick read, accessible to any degree of history enthusiast.

These books are available for purchase NOW in the museum or through our online store.
