The Wiggin Memorial Library is the public library of Stratham, New Hampshire. It is located at 10 Bunker Hill Avenue.
Contents
Stratham had private libraries since 1793, and began to financially support the last of these in 1896. In 1912 a dedicated library building was built at 158 Portsmouth Avenue. The single-story stone structure was designed by Charles Howard Walker. Its construction was funded by a bequest from Emma Blodgett Wiggin, and was named as a memorial to her and her husband, George Wiggin. It served as the town's public library until 1989, when it moved to its current facilities. The old building now serves as a research library and meeting place for the Stratham Historical Society. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
