County of Delaware

The County of Delaware Community Library in Sunbury, Ohio, will re-house in appropriate storage containers a selection of archival materials, among them the daybooks of a late 19th-century stagecoach inn, hotel registers from the 1920s-1940s, the mid-19th-century ledger of a local general store, directories of local fraternal organizations, school memorabilia, court dockets from the 1860s-1950s, and materials related to the longtime economic center of the area, the Nestle plant. Important records such as these reveal the day-to-day life of a community, and they are frequently consulted by a wide range of users, including schoolchildren, genealogists, teachers, and historians.
