About the Library ...

Jamestown Public Library was built in 1915 and first served as a school. It has since become a small community library designed to serve the public of Jamestown and the surrounding community. We encourage you to post your thoughts on our service and the things that we offer to the public.
Please share with us how we can become better and further serve the population. All suggestions as to materials (books, DVDs , books on tape, etc. ) that you might have are welcomed. Any ideas about events and ways that we can become a more integral part of the community.

The Long Rifles of Guilford County Mendenhall

The Long Rifles of Guilford County was presented by C. Michael Briggs. Michael did an informative presentation of the long rifles that were used in the area for hunting otr display pieces unless they  were used  to fight when no other options were available.  Most of them were produced by Quaker gunsmiths.
 


The Jamestown area had the highest density of gunsmiths who set the standards for gunsmiths throughout the southeastern Unite States.
