Dayton School Benefit Club

Dayton School Benefit Club Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. in the Lucille Alley room in Dayton's Town Hall. The building was completed in 1937.

The aims and purposes of the Club are to carry out and promote activities for the betterment of the Tongue River Schools, residents of the Town of Dayton and surrounding communities of Parkman, Wolf, and Ranchester. The members of the Dayton School Benefit Club will use this page to inform people about the Historic Building, public activities, and events planned and how people can become involved

in the club. The Dayton Community Hall is owned and operated by the Dayton School Benefit Club. It is located in a residential area on the corner of Bridge Street and Third Avenue; it rests on the original main thoroughfare of this small community. In the early 30's, the Dayton Town Council recognized a need for a gathering place for residents. Susan Walling, a widow living in Dayton, owned a corner lot large enough to build such a building. February 20, 1935, Susan signed a warranty deed and transferred her property to the Town of Dayton. That year, the town submitted a Works Progress Administration project proposal ( #7846) to build the building for an estimated cost of $4,742.45. The project employed 47 men from local Civil Conservation Camps. In 1932 the Dayton School Benefit Club was formed and the title to the building was signed over to the club sometime after it was completed.

The Community Hall dance floor is getting a refresh! We are very excited that we were able to get this done. It's been several years since the floor has been sanded and treated.

This is the ORIGINAL flooring. I can just imagine all the stories it could tell - the sweat dripping off the basketball players; the feet of dancing couples moving to dance music, as well as the tapping feet of the onlookers; the drips and spills from food being served at the various events; the visiting during quilt shows and Dayton Days fundraisers; the laughter of running children; the stories being told by Padlock cowboys and cowgirls; the laughter of Rotary members enjoying social events; the tears of friends and family remembering their loved ones; the love and happiness shared during wedding ceremonies. The list goes on and on.

This building is a staple of the Dayton Community and the Tongue River Valley as a whole. It wouldn't exist without the support of this community, as well as the hard work of the members of the Dayton School Benefit Club.

We thank everyone for their support.
