LIB302856 The Memorial Library, built by William Ellery Channing Ross and dedicated in 1904 to the memory of his wife Etta Chadbourn Ross, served as the cultural center of Blue Earth for many years. In 1954 Guy Ross and his half brother, son of William Ross and Stella Reid Ross attended the library's 50th anniversary. 1979 marked the 75th anniversary. In the early 1980's it became apparent that the size of the memorial library was too small to meet the needs of the community. In February 1985 the library was moved to its present location downtown. The city of Blue Earth donated the building to the Faribault County Historical Association in 1987 to be used as a museum along with $15,000 for restoration and maintenance.
