Spotlight on Local History

Have you ever wondered who lived in your house 50 years ago? Or maybe you are looking for a yearbook photo of a former classmate. Perhaps you are writing a research paper about National Cash Register, the Wright Brothers, the 1913 flood, or another topic in Dayton’s history. Would you like to know more about one of the many businesses, churches, schools, or historic districts in our area?

The reference staff in the Local History Room, located in the basement of the Main library, will be glad to help you with questions such as these. We have books, newspapers, photographs, city directories, historical maps, manuscript collections, and many other types of resources to help you find the answers you seek.
