G.A.R. Hall
Built in the 1850s as a schoolhouse, the G.A.R. Hall became a meeting place for Civil War veterans in the 1880s. It was later purchased by World War I veterans and used as an American Legion post. In 1962, Robert Hunker purchased the building and restored it to its 19th-century appearance. Today, the G.A.R. Hall is a the main venue the Voices in the Valley Concert Series. It can also be rented for private events such as weddings, showers, and other life events. With the recent addition, The G.A.R. Hall is now fully A.D.A. accessible.
