The Alice M. Ward Library is a public library in Canaan, Essex County, Vermont, located at 27 Park St., Canaan (mailing address: PO Box 134, Canaan, Vermont 05903-0134). == History == Built in 1846 by Fernando C. Jacobs as an inn or 'stand', the building was the northernmost stop on the stage route to Montreal, Canada. Due to Jacob's known Republican values, local folklore considers the building to be the former northernmost U.S. stop on the Connecticut River route of the 19th century Underground Railroad. However, there is no evidence supporting the theory. The building was sold in 1888 to physician Artemas Ward and later bequest to the town of Canaan as a public library in 1930 after the death of his wife Alice. The Library is registered as an historic example of Neo-Palladian temple-form design.
