| Town Hall |
The Town Hall began its life as a schoolhouse. The first brick schoolhouse (building on left) was built in Hildebran in 1917. It remains a part of the present building, but has had several additions during the years. No electricity was available until the early 1920's. The auditorium was lighted for night programs by several gas lanterns.The first addition to the school was in about 1923, an auditorium with additional classrooms on the second floor. The original auditorium was converted to classrooms. The first commencement was held in 1919. By 1925 the graduating class had increased to fourteen members. A wooden structure was built in the 40's to be used as a lunchroom. It later became the schools first gymnasium. In 1957 more land was purchased and a new primary ("main") building was constructed (building on right). In 1959, a new auditorium was added with band and classrooms. A new gymnasium was added in 1965. Check out our new flag! Weblink Policy Statement
