Description
The Duxbury Free Library opened its doors to the public in the spring of 1890. Situated in a beautifully appointed house fitted throughout with paintings and works of art, George and Georgianna Wright conveyed the building and grounds that became the first library. The original seven person board of trustees had been established by the Henry Winsor bequest in 1889. The Board was to be self-perpetuating and, as such, was authorized to appoint members to fill vacancies as they occurred.
