HISTORY The Ellsworth Public Library is located on the banks of the Union River in downtown Ellsworth, Maine. The Federalist-style building built in 1817 for Colonel Meltiah Jordan is listed on the National Register of Historic House, and is commonly knows as the Tisdale House after Seth Tisdale, one of its illustrious owners. The house has been a public library since 1897 when George Nixon Black gave the remodeled building to the City of Ellsworth with the enduring condition "That the premises conveyed shall be always used for a public library".

Silsby Collection. To date I have received no response. My initial query asked for additional details on the scope of the maps and prints of early Maine. For erxample, are there maps from the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Is there any textual content to supplement these images? I am working on a biography of ANP founder George B. Dorr and both Judge Silsby and I have recently authored articles for the Friends of Acadia Journal in celebration of the centennial of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations. I would like to determine whether any of your holdings are germane to my interests. Thank you. Ronald H.
