Division Street

In the fall of 1861 , Datus Kelley and his wife, Sarah, conveyed to the village as a gift this fine stone structure. Dedicated to "Truth," it was to be used as a site for all sorts of meetings and public. entertainments. And, indeed, it has been! Religious groups held meetings here; public. theatricals were staged, and, in all, it became and has remained the community center.

In addition, for many years, the basement housed municipal offices and, later, ;just to the northeast, a ;jail was constructed. Today the Town Fall is still the site for public functions ranging from high school commencements to athletic events. It is also the headquarters for the Island F.M.T. unit and includes a local physician's office.
