Through a mutual agreement with the Avon Free Public Library, The Avon Historical Society dedicated the Marian M. Hunter History Room on February 4, 1989.

It is named in honor of Marian M. Hunter, long-time librarian and historian of Avon. It is presently located in the library boardroom but will move to more suitable quarters upon completion of the library expansion. It is staffed by Society volunteers chaired by Sally Garvin.

Researchers and interested residents may find information on the general history of the town, original old homes and buildings in Avon, and genealogies of original families. The collection includes photographs, postcards, scrapbooks, maps, deeds, and other pieces of memorabilia. The first library for the town of Avon is a "must see."

For an appointment, call the library at 673-9712.
