Research Library

Several members of the Historical Society have been working to rebuild the research library. Most of the binders of research were lost in the fire and hopefully, in the future, we will be able to invite the public back into a new home to do research.

UPDATE!! While we do not yet have a new home for our Historical Society, the following items are ready to be added to our Research Library once we find our home! Kathy Fisher and Jeannette Bender have been working very hard to restore what was lost in the fire. We are so thankful for their research expertise in order to bring our Dauphin-Middle Paxton history to life. If you are interested in doing any research please email Kathy at [email protected] or Jeannette at [email protected]. They would love to hear from you!
