About Us
Designed in the Romanesque Revival style, the Library was originally named for its benefactress Susan B. Clay and dedicated on July 4th 1896. The Soldiers' Monument in front of the Library, dedicated in 1900, commemorates those who served in the American Revolution, War of 1812, and the Mexican and Civil Wars. The Library is located at 38 Main St, in the downtown area of Jaffrey.
