This library is dedicated to Russ Hatter, local historian and story-keeper of Frankfort, who was instrumental in the creation of the Capital City Museum and the development of an extensive body of archival research, books, and historical files. On display in the library are original Paul Sawyier paintings and a grandfather clock.
Visitors to this library can explore maps, historical references to Frankfort in books and journals, and genealogical information on Frankfort’s earliest citizens. Researchers are welcome to use our library and search our files by appointment only. Please contact our historian, Beth Shields, at bshields@frankfort.ky.gov or (502) 696-9127.
