Built by the Town of Lyndon in the summer of 1809 as a meeting house for the religious services of four congregations – Baptist, Congregational, Methodist, and Universalist – and for town meetings. The “Town House” was converted in 1851 to town-meeting use only, serving that purpose until 1971. It now houses Lindon Institute classes and community events.
