Find us and see what's happening on
In 1911, local business man and Addison County Sheriff
William Lawrence gave the Lawrence Memorial Library
to the town of Bristol, Vermont for $1.00.
He dedicated the library to his two deceased wives, Minnie Peet Lawrence
and Lockie Partch Lawrence. Renovated with care over time, the library would still
look very familiar to Mr. Lawrence.
Please stop in to see this historic building that Mr. Lawrence said was,
"...not an elaborate affair, but it is substantial, plain, modest,
like the characters and lives of those whose memory this new
home for the library is to commemorate."
Come visit us at 40 North Street in downtown Bristol
and discover the many programs, resources, and
services we offer.
