Located on the Green in Glastonbury, the town’s first secular Town Hall was built between 1839 and 1840 by Parley Bidwell, who probably also designed it. Glastonbury’s first Meeting House of 1693 had stood nearby. The 1840 building served as the Town House for a century, and is now the Museum on the Green, operated by the Historical Society of Glastonbury.
