Hills Memorial Library

Hills Memorial Library is a two-story stone building in Hudson featuring characteristic New England architectural details from the early 1900s. The structure includes a basement meeting room used for public gatherings and community events.

The library was founded in 1909 as a memorial to Ida Virginia Hills and replaced Hudson's first free public institution. The construction period coincided with the town's growth at the start of the 20th century.

The library is named after Ida Virginia Hills, a valued community figure. It continues to serve as a gathering place where residents come together for events and meetings.

The building is easily accessible on foot from Hudson's main street and offers a quiet setting to explore. Visitors should be aware that the historic structure features narrow staircases and traditional room layouts.

The original collection was based on a private book donation from Dr. Adoniram Greeley, who contributed over 500 volumes. This founding collection shaped the library's holdings and direction from the very beginning.
