Work on the Brandon Town Hall is complete

DENNIS MARDEN, PRESIDENT of the Friends of the Town Hall, shows off the Brandon Town Hall’s new floor. Installed over the last month, the floor caps Marden’s tenure at the head of Friends organization, which, with help from the Brandon Rec Department, has seen Town Hall become central to Brandon’s cultural life, hosting concerts, films, auctions, town meeting and many other events.  Brandon Reporter photo/Steven Jupiter

Built in 1861, the Brandon Town Hall has had its ups and downs — the town once even considered tearing it down. But after a major renovation years ago, it’s become a center point for Brandon’s cultural life. Shows, movies, events — even disc golf — all take place in its main hall. And as a result, the floor (already a replacement for the 1861 original) had taken quite a beating and was worn too thin to be refinished yet again.
