LIB1795041800. It was a time when men worked for a dollar a day in zero or below temperatures to cut ice blocks to fill the eleven large ice houses in Athens. They rode horses or took a stagecoach. It was a time when children had one pair of shoes and were lucky to attend school. Still, it is an age looked back on with nostalgia as a simpler time. It was during this golden age that a studious young boy named Daniel Redfield Evarts was being brought up in modest circumstances. He came from a large family and had no free access to books. The local Dutch Reformed minister gave him some books and a small room with light in which he could study. READ MORE HERE: https://drevartslibrary.org/about/

LIB034393 The first Free Library Association to be formed in the county, the Gilbertsville Free Library stands as a symbol of architectural pride and beauty to both past and present day village residents. A frame school house for Butternuts' School District #13 was moved to this location in 1814. Serving as both the district school and a private academy for more advanced education, it burned in 1817.
