Support Oakes Ames Memorial Hall

For more than 145 years, Oakes Ames Memorial Hall has stood as a place of gathering, celebration, and community. Preserving a historic building of this age and significance is both a privilege and an ongoing responsibility that depends on the generosity of those who believe in its future. Oakes Ames Memorial Hall is a touchstone in people’s lives for every rite of passage from baby showers to celebrations of life. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, the Oakes Ames Memorial Hall Association, Inc. relies on donations to support the careful stewardship of this treasured landmark. Contributions help address the unique challenges of maintaining a historic structure, where period preservation work requires costly expertise and continual maintenance to keep the building as close to its original condition as possible.

Your support directly sustains the long-term structural stability of the Hall and its historic essence, the hand carved woodwork, original hardwood floors, the beautiful stained-glass windows, massive rough cut stone masonry and period lighting. Every gift of every size helps ensure the Hall remains authentic, welcoming, and alive with purpose for today’s community and generations to come.
