Brief History of Old Town Hall
It was constructed because a Division Court Judge objected to the noise of the school children when he held court in the Bath Academy.
The judge refused to return until a permanent Court House was built, The Old Town Hall is a designated historical property under the Heritage Act.
Its Tuscan Portico is patterned after Roman buildings with civic or judicial functions.
The building was used as the Bath Town Hall until 1970 and completely restored in the early 1980's. The Building now belongs to the Fairfield Gutzeit Society and since May of 2009 is the new home of the Bath Museum of Loyalist Township
