Dyer Memorial Library

The Dyer Memorial Library, nestled in Abington, MA, serves as a historical vault for the interconnected towns of Abington, Rockland, and Whitman. These towns shared a common history until 1874 when they went their separate ways. The library boasts an impressive collection comprising primary source documents and artifacts spanning pivotal periods like the Colonial era, American Revolution, Abolitionist movement, Civil War, World War II, and the once-thriving shoe and tack-making industries. Beyond local history, it also houses detailed accounts of all 351 towns in Massachusetts, making it a treasure trove for both general and genealogical research.

If you're eager to dive into the rich tapestry of the region's past, the Dyer Memorial Library offers research appointments on Tuesdays from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. For those spontaneous moments of historical curiosity, walk-ins are welcomed on Wednesdays and Fridays during the same hours, although research assistance is not available during these times. To uncover more about the library's offerings and plan your visit efficiently, exploring the "Research" page on the Dyer's website will provide you with valuable insights and guidance.
