History of the Jamestown Town Hall

First Two Hundred Years

For over 200 years, Jamestown was without a permanent building within which to conduct the business of the town. Each elected Town Clerk stored the town records in his home or office.

The first Town Hall was built on the site of the current Town Hall in 1883.

A Century of Change

The town grew quickly in the late 19^th and 20^th centuries and many plans were proposed to expand, move, and rebuild the 1883 building. Finally, in 2007, the current Town Hall was opened, incorporatiing the original Town Hall as the Council Chamber.
