The map is available for the public to see. You can email us ahead of your visit at specialcollections@mdhs.org, and we can have the map pulled for your arrival. Just reference the following information: Hampden Improvement Association map, J. Morris Wampler, 1857.
The library is open to the public from 10:00 – 5:00 pm, Wednesday through Saturday.
Thanks
