Pickaway County (Ohio) Genealogical Library Seeks Renovation Funding

The Moore House at the corner of Court and Mound streets is a great piece of old architecture. But it doesn't make a good library. And so the Pickaway County Genealogical Library is moving a few blocks north to the former Circleville Herald building on Court Street.

The new building isn't ready to occupy yet and library volunteers have started to raise the $150,000 needed to move.

Although the size of county is relatively modest (53,000 population), Pickaway has a first class genealogy society in all respects. It isn't just because they preserve almost everything related to genealogy and local history in their area, but it's also their dedicated and diligent cadre of volunteers which makes them a real treasure. I wish them the best and success with their renovation fundraiser. For more about the vast resources of their collection, please see my article entitled "Pickaway County's 'Library of Alexandria" for Researchers" at Paul's Genealogy Blog http://dogletta868-paulsblog.blogspot.com/

Just wanted everyone to know our library has been completed and we are now located at 210 North Court Street in Circleville. We held our grand opening in June and are now "ready for business". Please change your address. Our e-mail address is pkwyhist@pchgl.org. Our new website is coming soon. Thanks.
