Our Renovation & Construction Project is UNDERWAY!
We have relocated our offices and basic services to the first floor of the Art Circle Library, next to the Library Director's office, until our facilities are complete. The building is looking really good from the outside as of January 2025, but the inside is still a work in progress. It's located right across the street from the library with the main entry still located at 95 E. First Street if you want to take a look at the exterior. We are looking forward to welcoming y'all to the interior later this year!
Our hours of operation will remain the same:
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Our temporary Telephone number:
(931) 484-6790 Ext. 248
Please check back for information regarding our grand re-opening.
We have planned a variety of exciting programs and events for Summer and Fall 2025 and will post information as those seasons approach. Thank you for your patience and future patronage.

May 2025 Update:
Greetings from the staff of the Cumberland County Archives and Family Heritage Center! Some of you have been keeping up with our progress via social media or continued volunteerism during the renovation, thank you. Others may not have been updated at all, we apologize for that and hope this update helps. We are still open to the public for genealogy research at the library, but now starting to work in the actual archives.
The good news is that the building is nearly complete! However, that does not mean we are ready to open soon. There are several ongoing projects that must be completed before we can open. There is much work to be done to get all of our archival materials from storage into the vault. The new part of the building is complete with the exception of cleaning then moving materials into the vault. The old part of the building is still under renovation with ADA ramp being repaired, windows being replaced soon, basement ceiling and wall repairs. Our reading room and public access areas will continue to be in the same place as they always were, but furniture will need to be cleaned and moved into place (it's currently all shoved to the center of the room to allow old broken windows to be replaced).
We are looking for volunteers to assist in cleaning, preparing, and moving materials from storage into the vault. We do have a book-lift to take things from the downstairs storage to the vault upstairs, but it's still quite a bit of work. If you are interested in helping please email Lori by clicking on the "Email Me" icon below her picture. We are still only working Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9AM - 4PM with the exception of holidays. If you would like to keep up via social media, click on the Social Media links to the right. Thanks so much.
Tuesday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
