History

Not much is known about the community hall, but it was likely the meeting place for locals and farmers to host events and town meetings. Following a couple of town fires and the Great Depression, the locals attempted to renovate the town hall to revive the deteriorating town.

Unfortunately, the fallout from the Great Depression led to many failing businesses, deserted homes and locals leaving the town searching for greener pastures. Today, the town hall is closed but is occasionally used by farmers. It has a Canadian Centennial sign by its entrance.
