In the Fall 2000 issue of the Knox Countian magazine, historians Michael C. Mills and Charles Reed Mitchell, both of whom are current officers of the museum, jointly compiled a listing of books and other writings on Knox County's history they found helpful at the time. Most of these publications may be consulted at the Museum, Knox County Public Library, and Union College.
