Description
The Village of Cassopolis is one of 53 Michigan communities to receive funds from Andrew Carnegie for a public library. The building that now houses Cass District Library’s Local History Branch was completed in 1909 as the home of the LaGrange Township Library. LaGrange Township operated the library for more than eighty years. Between 1947 and 1957, the basement served as the home of the Cass County Library. The LaGrange Township Library closed its doors in 1993 when it merged with the Cass County Library. In October 1994, it reopened as Cass District Library’s Local History Branch. The collection is a favorite among those researching Cass County, Michigan, history and genealogy.
In 2020-2021 the Local History Branch underwent major renovations. To take a virtual tour of the interior of the Local History Branch click here.
