Middlesboro Elks Lodge #119 recently made a $500 donation to the Bell County Historical Society Museum located in Middlesboro. The Historical Society Museum works to collect, preserve, research, exhibit, interpret and demonstrate items and photographs that serve to illustrate the history of Middlesboro, Bell County and the Cumberland Gap area. It is a great resource to both adults and students researching the history of the area.
