Menno Simons Historical Library

The mission of the Menno Simons Historical Library is to collect, maintain, and provide access to materials that represent Anabaptist and Mennonite experiences as well as resources relating to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Our collection includes a large number of rare books from both Europe and the United States on these topics. We also have an extensive collection of genealogical materials related to Mennonites and Shenandoah Valley families.

If you are looking to learn more about Mennonites, the history of the Shenandoah Valley, or your family history stop by for a visit! Our staff will be glad to get you connected to the resources you are looking for.
