Welcome!
The 2010 Annual Cornish Festival
is our 18th! Three
days of events, Friday September 24 through Sunday September
26, including the traditional Friday night pub night at Pendarvis
and a variety of Cornish entertainment and activities for all ages.
The Cornish Festival was initiated in 1993 by the Southwest Wisconsin Cornish Society to celebrate the Cornish heritage of our area. This festival has grown into a keystone event for Mineral Point that reflects local customs of people whose roots are found throughout Southwest Wisconsin.
Check
back periodically, the site will be updated as more
information becomes available. For general information

CORNWALL FAMILY HISTORY
SOCIETY RECORDS
We are fortunate to have the records from the Cornwall
Family History Society available to us on line in Southwest
Wisconsin for researching our Cornish ancestors. Birth,
death, and marriage records that happened in Cornwall
are all accessible on CFHS records. You may contact
either one of the two convenient depositories at the
Southwest Wisconsin Room in the Ulsvick Hall at the
University of Wisconsin-Platteville (608-342-1719)
or at the Mineral Point Room in the Public Library
in Mineral Point, Wisconsin (608-987-2447). They are
available FREE for your use and you may order copies
of documents from Cornwall for a small fee. Please
remember that these records are a work in progress,
not a finished product. We suggest you call ahead to
make certain the facility is open and available on
the day you wish to visit. The Mineral Point Room is
open only on Thursday afternoon and evening and on
Saturday.
In addition to the CFHS records, you may be surprised
at the array of genealogical information you may find
at both of these fine libraries.
