Jack Russell Memorial Library

The Jack Russell Memorial Library in Hartford, WI, traces its roots back to its founding on August 25, 1904, by the Hartford Free Library Association. Initially housed in two rooms within the old City Hall, the library underwent several relocations over the years. From 1914 to 1930, it found a home within the "new" Hartford High School, serving as both a public and educational library.

In a pivotal shift on March 3, 1925, the City of Hartford took over operational control and funding at the behest of the Free Library Association. Subsequent moves led to the library settling into its current location in a striking $10 million building along the serene Rubicon River on October 24, 2011. This spacious 35,500 sq ft facility stands as a testament to the community's enduring commitment to fostering knowledge and literacy.
