Welcome to Rusk County

You're invited to browse these pages in search of answers to your questions. Although I offer this information, please be aware that I do not guarantee its validity. My name is Gina Armstrong Heffernan and I am relatively new to Rusk County but my family has lived here for over one hundred years.

I am not able to do lookups at this time but I might be able to help in other ways.

The Portal to Texas History contains a wealth of documents from Rusk County, including copies of newspapers! Don't forget to visit this awesome site.

The Depot Museum is located in Henderson and the folks there have gathered a huge collection of information on local families. Please visit and support the museum.
