The year 2025 was a historic one for the Berryville Public Library and, by extension, for the town of Berryville. We broke ground on the new library last April, so the library should be finished this summer. Preparation for the new building has made us at the Berryville Library nostalgic and reflective, not just about the library’s history but also about the town’s history. Other seminal moments in Berryville Library history occurred in 1938 and 1978, so we spent the year looking back on what Berryville was like then, as well as what it is like now, as we also look to the future. This is the final regular blog post of the Celebrate Berryville project, and we’ll be looking at where Berryville shops.
