This project would not have been possible without the impressive scholarship and volunteer work of numerous Ford County community members. For those interested in learning more about Spearville and Ford County history, we recommend the sources below, many of which we relied on to create the digital exhibits on this site.

• Explore the Ford County Past Perfect archive to access digitized photos and books related to Ford County and Spearville. 
• The Ford County Historical Society has an excellent write-up of Spearville's history.
• The Ford County Historical Society also has information about the settlement of Windhorst.
• Windhorst Heritage, Inc. details the early history of Windhorst.
