If you are planning to visit historical/genealogical societies and public libraries, especially those requiring that you travel some distance, verify the hours of operation prior to your visit!
During these unsettled economic times, many such facilities are having to reduce hours of operation as part of their cost-cutting measures. Some have already adjusted their hours while others will be doing so in the coming days and months.
