Facilities

The Hall has two adjoining areas, the larger of which is the original building. A deck off the west side of the building is accessed by a sliding glass door, and has steps leading down to the lawn. The view is stunning and makes a great backdrop for photos.

There is a stage, which was originally used for amateur productions, that provides an area for bands or musical groups.
