Take a few minutes to step into the Handley LIbrary. It's a beautiful place. After our trip through Imperial Europe I now realize the dome on the library looks incredibly like the architecture in the old Hapsburg Empire. Inside, the Stewart Bell Jr. Archives Room offers an archive library for people looking for information about Frederick County.

The Archives are open:
Tuesday and Wednesday 1-8 PM
Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10 AM -5PM
100 Picadilly Street
