[LIB7242] Mr. Lyman Pettee came along and gave funds for a new library to be built. Mr. Pettee, who grew up in Wilmington and also went to school here, named the building after his parents Anson and Lucy Pettee, PETTEE MEMORIAL LIBRARY. The building was completed in 1906 and is still the home of Wilmington’s public library today. [Website]
