History
For more
than forty years, the
Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library's home was an elegant antebellum
house called Waldomore, the city's chief historical landmark as well.
Over
the years, the library's collection and also the idea of library
service outgrew the capacity of the old building, until eventually a
way was found to build a new structure designed for the purpose.
However, Waldomore remains a part of the library complex. Its ground
floor offers a large public meeting space alongside rooms that display
period furnishings.
Upstairs
is the library's West Virginia Collection, a specialized
reference department devoted to all aspects of life in the "Mountain
State," a famous resource for genealogists especially and maintained
with the generous assistance of the Harrison County Genealogical
Society.
A
room has been set apart to house the books and papers of the
legendary UFO
writer and publisher
Gray Barker,a Braxton
County native
and for many years a Clarksburg resident.
Questions should be addressed to David Houchin the Special Collections Librarian at houchin@clark.lib.wv.us.
