Time to Celebrate New Life for the Old Town House
Selectmen approved the ribbon cutting and other festivities for the old and stately building getting new life.
Residents and visitors will salute a cornerstone of Marblehead's history on Dec. 7-8 when the Old Town House reopens with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The 10:30 a.m. ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 7, marks the reopening of the 1727 building after a $675,000 project making it more accessible.
Refreshments will be served, a photographic exhibit shown and programs held inside the hall's sturdy wooden doors.
Selectmen on Wednesday approved the weekend events, a chance to again embrace the updated Old Town House.
Workers from contractor Tom Cooney Construction of South Boston have been working on the building.
The project was approved by voters in 2012 after its defeat a year earlier.
Selectman Judy Jacobi said earlier that she looks forward to the building again being a hub of activity.
Home to voting and meetings, yes, but lectures, art shows and concert, as well. Maybe even weddings.
