About the Historic Library building:
The Oxford Memorial Library was once the home of Theodore Burr, the famous builder of covered bridges, and inventor of the patented Burr Truss. The Burr House was constructed about 1809 by Mr. Burr as a home for his family. In 1900 the building was given in memory of Eli Lyon Corbin and Abigail Taintor Corbin, his wife, to the Village of Oxford to be used as a library. For more information about Theodore Burr and his accomplishments go to the Historic section.
