Restoration of Athenaeum Hall

Previous color scheme

Restored to its original colors in 2007

Proudly featured in our logo, Athenaeum Hall is a nineteenth century Saxonville historical landmark. Its storied past includes use as a polling place, jail, hospital, school, newspaper press room for The Saxonville Mirror, and as a hall for wedding receptions, religious services, veterans' meetings, plays, lectures, sporting events, and dances.

The Friends of Saxonville are actively working on physical restoration of the building and returning it to active commercial and community use.

With a fresh coat of paint in its original colors of chocolate and cream, the FOS renovation of Saxonville's landmark building has reached a very visible milestone. Renovations to the first floor interior are underway.
