The LeRoy Heritage Museum maintains the Rancy K. Morse Memorial Research Library located on the second floor of the museum building. The research library houses material pertaining to LeRoy Township, former Barclay Township (Barclay Mountain) and Granville Township. The research library is named in memory of one of our community's most well known historians.
Library hours are by appointment only. A volunteer will retrieve all materials for patrons and no material may be removed from the building. A copying machine is available for use by volunteers. Further guidelines will be posted in the future.
