Inscription.
Sebewaing Township was organized in 1853. In 1877 the board resolved to use “liquor money” to build this township hall. The atypical two-story town hall included voting booths, a courtroom, a jury room, a jail, and a meeting hall. The front door was off center to accommodate double engine-room doors until the fire department vacated the building in 1883. In 2006 the Sebewaing Area Historical Society restored the hall to its 1878 appearance.

Erected 2009 by Michigan Historical Commission - Michigan Historical Center. (Marker Number L1596.)
