A LIVING HISTORY
Think of the possibilities for a community that could display one of the world's finest collections of rare, early, and first editions in a classic historical site. Imagine a museum that includes manuscripts, early editions, and first editions by Aristotle, George Orwell, Thomas Aquinas and more. This is the brainchild of the Remnant Trust. The goal of the trust is to elevate the public's understanding of individual liberty and human dignity by making some of the world's greatest ideas available in original form to the general public. Some of the pieces in this museum date back to as early as 1250. The Trust has operated out of Hagerstown, Indiana for many years, serving students, faculty, scholars, and most importantly, the general public. Now the Trust is relocating to a newly renovated facility - The Carnegie Library in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

The interior of the building is being completely restored to house the exhibit. The facility will include display and storage areas with a climate-controlled environment, study space and a learning center for lectures, seminars and classes. In addition, a one-of-a-kind, three-panel, bronze relief sculpture, 2005 Years of Liberty in Bronze, will be displayed in the surrounding Warder Park. The sculpture portrays a chronology of important individuals and events which have made major contributions to the pursuit of human dignity and liberty.
