Historical Room

 The  Ellsworth Historical Room is open! 

Local History Collection:

In the Library’s Ellsworth Room, we house some of Mechanicville’s Historical Documents, including a photo collection of Veterans, which is linked on this page, back issues of the Express and it’s predecessors on micro film, and Coach Weigle’s collection of Mechanicville Team photos.

The building and organization for the Historical collection is a constant ongoing project. When visiting, we ask that you sign in at the front circulation desk and leave your photo ID during your stay. You will have full access to our irreplaceable collection. Your ID can be retrieved on your way out. Thank you for your cooperation!
