Acton Town Hall Notes:

Acton Town Hall was built by the town fathers in 1883 who agreed it was essential that a building be available for use by council and the community. For 80 years it served as the hub of Acton’s social life. It was used as a government building until 1974, when the services were relocated. It fell into disrepair for a few years, but thanks to an outstanding community fundraising effort and support from the Town and federal and provincial governments, it has been restored to its original glory and is again a source of pride and community activity.
