Speakeasy Night
Step back in time with us as we bring back a very special Fundraiser for the Alexander Hamilton Memorial Free Library of Waynesboro. It’s going to be a jazzy night of games, music, cocktails, and delicious food catered by Christine’s Cafe. Doors open 7pm Saturday, September 12th. Cocktail dress code – period attire optional.
Tickets are $75 each with a special Daisy Deal of $330 for groups of five. Visit the library or buy on our website https://www.ahmfl.org/ under “Speakeasy Night 2026.” Act now! Tickets are on sale until 9/7/2026.
In the 20’s the library belonged to the family of Alexander Hamilton (not the one on the $10 bill.) It remained in the family until his granddaughter bequeathed it to the Borough to be the town’s first permanent library. Today, the building is a vibrant library where we serve patrons from all over Franklin County and over the border in Maryland!
