If you’ve ever been doing research and needed to find some old documents (old tax records or school records, for example), chances are you make a visit to the Cape Girardeau County Archive Center in Jackson. The center houses documents from every county office and according to their website, they have some of the oldest records in the State of Missouri, dating back to the late 1790s.

Dan Woods spoke with Archive Center Director Marybeth Niederkorn and Assistant Lyle Johnston to learn more about the Cape Girardeau County Archive Center.
