LANCASTER, MA.
The Thayer Memorial Library’s roots reach back to 1790 when its predecessor, the Lancaster Library (later renamed the Lancaster Social Library), was first established. It was in 1862 that Lancaster residents voted to create a tax-supported free public library – then named the Lancaster Town Library. The Library’s Historical Museum was established in 1863.
