Fulton County Historical Society Library

The Fulton County Historical Society Library has a room on the third floor of the newly-renovated Fulton County Library at 227 North First Street in McConnellsburg. The library is handicapped accessible and has elevator service. The Society's room with genealogy and research material is not staffed but is available upon registration with photo ID at the main library desk. Materials do not circulate outside the room which has a continuous security camera. New Library Hours The Historical Society's research room in the Fulton County Library follows the same hours as the public library. Hours are from 9:00-6:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays; from 9:00-8:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays; from 9:00-5:00 on Fridays and 10:00-2:00 on Saturdays. Naomi Waite (717 987-3757) continues to provide organization and direction in our Society library. No charge is made to patrons who use the room although the Society makes an annual contribution of $1,200 to the public library and so donations are appreciated. Benefactors who would like to help maintain this free service may send a tax-deductible gift to the Historical Society. The Historical Society library welcomes donations of any family or local history material on Fulton County people and events for its permanent collection. Volunteers are needed anytime to help with inquiries and keep materials organized.
