Help save the historic Allentown Union Hall!

WOW!  Nice article in the Pantagraph about the fundraising auction!  Click here to read it!

The old historic Allentown Union Hall (a.k.a. Allentown Hall) needs our help. It was structurally damaged over the winter months and if it is not repaired soon it will have to be torn down for safety reasons.  The Allentown Hall was built in 1892 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
