In 1832 the Methodists of Bethany Center built a church on this land. Twelve years later in 1844 it was no longer used as a church, but was incorporated into the "Bethany Academy"~an institution "of higher learning." Later, when enrollment warranted its use no longer, it was converted into the "Town Hall." The Grange used the Town Hall beginning in 1891 for their meetings. ~Please come and listen to what our Town Board has to present tomorrow~ In that way you can become an active member of the community in the decisions needed to be made here~ Please let your neighors and friends know about this meeting so we can have a large turn-out of the community represented !
