Waterloo Library & Historical Society

The Waterloo Library and Historical Society (WLHS) was founded in April 1875. The Queen Anne Victorian style building opened in December, 1883.

Waterloo Library & Historical Society provides patrons of all ages an integrative, full service library and historical experience.  As the birthplace of Memorial Day, we strive to educate on the founding and the service/sacrifice of all of America’s veterans.  We encourage participants to engage in our learning setting to become positive citizens, creating a stronger connection with life in the Finger Lakes.
