Barnes Library
The Barnes Library is named after A. Isabelle Barnes, a native of Greencastle-Antrim. She was a charter member of the Greencastle-Antrim Civil War Roundtable, established in the mid 1970s. For almost four decades, Isabelle collected books – books on the local history of Greencastle-Antrim, books on the history of Franklin County, books on the history of Pennsylvania, and books on American History. When she moved to Maine Isabelle said, “I have no use for these local history books in Maine, so I am giving my collection to Allison-Antrim Museum.” With one magnanimous gesture, Allison-Antrim Museum’s library grew tenfold. For this reason, the board of directors decided to name the library "The Barnes Library." Allison-Antrim Museum is sincerely grateful and indebted to Isabelle for her generosity.
The Barnes Library is located in the upper level of the barn.
