Union Hall Association seeks collaboration with young business to save historic building

In the village of South Tamworth, on Route 25 next to one of the country’s tiniest post offices, is the historic Union Hall building, maintained since 1894 by the Union Hall Association. For years, this two-story gem has hosted church coffees, community meetings and dances, plays and weddings, tag sales and fire department breakfasts.

Its board of directors has hosted fundraisers to keep the heat on and insurance paid, ensuring the life of this important part of our community history. But it takes a lot of yard sales and pancakes to keep the lights on these days, so the Union Hall Association is thinking outside the box, seeking a collaboration with a small business whose vibe matches the historic integrity of the space.
