National Historic Landmark -Market House

National Historic Landmark -Market House

Built in 1838, this structure is unique in that it is one of the few structures in America which employs the town hall-market scheme found in England.

Meat and produce were sold under the open first-floor arcade while the second floor served as the town hall and general meeting place.

The cupola bell still rings breakfast, dinner, sundown, and curfew.
