1. Mount Sterling Town Hall Marker
These columns and lintel are from the original Town Hall of Mount Sterling. The building was erected in 1883-1884 and was destroyed by fire November 7, 1982. They serve as a reminder of our past, as this building will be an inspiration to our future. Construction has been made possible, in part, by a gift from John W. Galbreath, native son whose achievements throughout the world have brought honor to our community.

2. Mount Sterling Town Hall Marker
In 1882 the town erected a brick, three story town hall that housed government offices and an opera house. In November 1983 the old town hall, long a local landmark, burned. However, a new structure quickly rose to replace it and was dedicated in June, 1985. Symbolic of the community, its design reflects the old structure but within is modern and efficient.
