Heritage Cards
The Lillian Anderson Jensen Library is the
informational hub of the MonDak Heritage Center.
The library is named for one of the MonDak's earliest
settlers, who is thought to be the first white child
born in Sidney. Lillian's family was instrumental in the
growth of Sidney and many descendants still live in the
area. Stories about Lillian and other settlers can be
found among the collection of family histories housed in
the library.
In addition to those histories, the library houses
more than 10,000 "heritage cards" available for tracing
family histories in the area. The library also has an
extensive collection of local newspapers dating back to
1908. and a collection of area maps of historical
interest.
In addition the library has area high school annuals,
minutes of organizations and hundreds of photos of the
area. The facility was established to preserve these
materials and make them available for research by local
residents and visitors.
