Brumback Library The Brumback Library was built with
funds bequeathed to Van Wert County residents by John
Sanford Brumback, a former resident of Van Wert. Mr.
Brumback’s will directed that enough funds from his estate
be devoted to the building and furnishing of a library as a
gift to Van Wert County if the county would provide books
and maintenance. The Brumback Library stands as the first
county library formed in the United States.
The cornerstone of the building was laid in 1899 with
dedication on January 1, 1901. In 1991, a 10,500 square
foot addition was added along with a complete renovation
of the existing structure. The architecture is a combination
of Gothic and Romanesque.
