Hudson Public Library

a historic place we're proud to call home.

Now home to Nelson Defense Group, the historic Hudson Public Library—built in 1903 as a Carnegie library—stands as a lasting symbol of knowledge and community. Its preserved architecture and rich legacy inspire our work daily, reminding us that each case is part of a long tradition of learning, advocacy, and justice.
