Architectural Historian Polly Seddon Allen will discuss the cultural and physical development of the J.W. Simpson Memorial Library from nineteenth century general store to community library.  Ms. Allen recently authored a National Register of Historic Places Nomination for the library, and will share the significant contextual strands that underlie the property's nearly two hundred years of development as a dynamic community center.  The discussion will be joined by stories from community members who grew up in and around the library and its steward, Miss Jean Simpson.
