THE STROUD MANSION is CLOSED
FOR OUR HERITAGE CENTER CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
See Heritage Center page
The Monroe County Historical Association office, research library, and museum
are closed through the remainder of 2025.
As the construction of the Heritage Center approaches its final stages, our dedicated team is focused on the important task of relocating back to our headquarters and preparing the space for visitors. During this transition, appointments, research, and other services will be on hold.
You may leave messages at 570-421-7703 or send an email.
Please understand that we may not be able to respond right away. We appreciate your patience.
The photo above shows the old Elizabeth D. Walters Library located in the Stroud Mansion, which is now closed for renovations. The new and improved RESEARCH LIBRARY will be housed in the new Heritage Center addition to the Stroud Mansion, and research functions will be again when the building reopens.
