Lots of people ask “When was the Hingham Hall actually built?”
Well this newspaper article from March 4th, 1898 answers that question!
The gym of the hall was built in 1898 and used as a meeting space for the Hingham chapter of the Modern Woodmen of America, hence the “M W A” letters above the stage. In the 1930’s (approximately?) the basement was added underneath.
The HAA is working on compiling a historical display for the entry way and alcove areas at the hall. If you have any Hingham memorabilia-think photos, fastpitch jerseys or items from the Hingham Feed Mill, Hopeman’s or cheese factories, ect, please reach out! We’d love to preserve and display your items!
