6/1/2026 Town Council meeting regarding the future of the Reverend Morrison Meeting House, also known as Lion’s Hall. Following the defeat of funding measures, officials presented a comprehensive list of ten potential options for the historic structure, ranging from sale or demolition to historic preservation and adaptive reuse as a community arts or senior center. The discussion highlights a strong preference for saving the building through a plan led by a passionate volunteer group, provided they can establish a clear timeline and funding strategy. Council members expressed frustration over deferred maintenance on town-owned properties and suggested that temporary measures like stabilization could buy time for fundraising. Proposed ideas to revitalize the area include establishing a farmers market at the nearby pavilion to draw public attention and support to the site. Ultimately, the council agreed to await a formal proposal from local citizens committed to the landmark’s restoration.
