Joe G. Darlington spent his life telling people the stories about
Perry County. It was estimated that during his lifetime, Joe touched
the lives of over 25,000 with his humorous and informative stories –
from Indian massacres to installing toilets at the Courthouse – he
covers it all!
On May 9, 1981 the people of Perry County recognized Joe for his service to the area by presenting him the beautiful plaque shown here and proclaimed him “Mr. Perry County.”
Now you can enjoy the wit and wisdom of this amazing historian.
Over sixty years of stories from his personal scrapbook are
preserved here giving us a unique view of Perry County.
