Veterans Hall, LLC

In October, 2024, due to declining membership and rising costs for both groups, the American Legion Building was sold and the group moved into the VFW building to form Veterans Hall. The two organizations with a common cause and common goals now have a common building. They will still keep their own identity but share expenses.
