Library & Archives
Miles Keiffer was a student of history, and because of this and the pride that he held
in his Ensminger Family heritage, Elizabeth Keiffer dedicated the library to the
memory of Miles’ ancestors.
The family photo below is a framed early tin photograph of Miles Keiffer’s
grandmother, her four sisters and Miles’ great grandmother, all of the Ensminger
Family. As you will read in the plaque below, the Ensminger Family has provided the
community of Manheim with a wonderful legacy.
