For over 70 years, volunteer librarians and archivists have recorded historical and genealogical information for our library. Named for our long-time Harmon Museum curator, Mary W. Klei, our library archives includes materials on the Shakers and Union Village, National Normal University, local churches, court records, photos, atlases, cemetery records, local newspapers, birth, marriage, and death records. The Mary W. Klei Research Library is a wonderful source for researching your family, property or Warren County and Ohio history.
Open Hours: Thursday and Friday (10-4pm) For the safety of the documents, our historian must be available to assist anyone seeking to do research. |
