County records indicate these Archives preserve the documented history of the Schitt family, neighboring families, civic events, and several incidents the courthouse still prefers not to discuss. While every reasonable effort has been made to preserve the historical record, absolute accuracy has occasionally proven incompatible with weather, goats, and sworn testimony.
“Them County records says we’ve been preservin’ questionable history since 1694.”

New records continue to surface … float … emerge ……. ‘er just plain show up as additional Schitt family materials are recovered from attics, barns, abandoned taverns, courthouse basements, and places respectable folks generally avoid.
