Sherman Free Library

Sherman Free Library Serving the Village of Port Henry and Town of Moriah for 130 years.

"..not withstanding the storm Monday night, January 17, 1887, the opera house was filled by the local citizenry to show their gratitude to Mr. Sherman for his munificent gift of the Sherman Free Library and its privileges to the community."
--excerpt from 1887 local newspaper. The gift of George Riley Sherman to his community, the library continues to provide free or very low-cost services to the
