Local History Donors

Over the years, the Buchanan District Library has grown a robust collection and archive of documents, photos, and other local artifacts which showcase the history of Buchanan. The collection has been made possible by the generosity of many donors throughout the decades. The Library wishes to sincerely thank the following donors for their recent gifts. We thoughtfully acknowledge all of our previous donors without whom our collection and Buchanan’s history would be lost.
