Greenfield Village Town Hall
An iconic sight in New England communities, the town hall was the place where local citizens would come together to participate in town meetings. These buildings also became gathering places for political elections, theatrical performances, and social events. Built in Greenfield Village in 1929, this town hall was patterned after New England town halls of the early 1800s.
