Alvord Public Library
About the Library
Located in the small town of Alvord in northern Wise County, the Alvord Public Library first opened its doors in 1983 after the centennial celebrations of 1982. The Tocker Foundation helped fund the preservation of materials from the Alvord Public Library.
Contributions
The Alvord Public Library contributes local history materials that include the Mayor's Criminal Docket, 1893-1924; Ledger of the Church of Christ at Alvord, 1904-1916; the Union Hill Baptist Church Record Books from 1877-1950; the "Yellowed Pages," a history of Audobon by Mary Steph; a 1920-21 city tax roll; and turn-of-the-century wholesale receipts from the J. R. Rhyne Hardware Store. Funding for this project was provided by the Tocker Foundation.
