INDIANOLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY… preserving the history of our town and the surrounding area.
The Indianola Historical Society was formed May 27, 2008. A group of people who are interested in saving the history of Indianola and all Red Willow County got together and decided to start this project. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month. The president is Bill Baumbach and vice-president Pat Schaffert. The treasurer is Don Behnke. James J. (Jimmy) Sughroue puts together a small 4 page news article called The Review that is filled with interesting articles and pictures of the past. We are trying to build a picture archive of the people. Any family photo, house or farmstead and just any kind of old picture that people have stored away some where in there homes would be of interest and could become part of this archive. We are always interested in ANY thing that pertains to Indianola or any of the other surrounding towns including Bartley, Danbury, Marion and Lebanon. We will copy and guarantee the return of all old pictures. We will gladly share what we have with anyone who is interested.
If you would like to join the Indianola Historical Society and receive The Review every month, our membership cost is $15.00 per year. Our address is:

One of our other goals is to raise enough money to become a non-profit organization which is around $1500.00. Another goal is to raise enough money, $4500.00, to erect a Historical Marker for the German Prisoner of War camp that was located here in the 1940’s and our biggest goal or dream is to someday have a building to store and exhibit the things we are gathering from people all over the United States that have ties to Red Willow County. We thank them for their donations and all of you who can help us with these goals.
If you are doing Genealogy or just searching your family you can look at the burials in the Indianola City Cemetery by going back to the Home Page and then to the Cemetery page. Down at the bottom is a link you can click on to take you to the site. The three cemeteries are listed with the names in alphabetical order. The name and grave location was all I was able to put on there. If you need dates or other info feel free to contact me at baumbach@atcjet.net. Thanks, Bill
