Augustus Barnett's vision for his "Gift" to the town was for it to serve as the town's library, a meeting hall, and a "proper" place to have all night dances.  Since 1894, the Town Hall fulfilled Mr. Barnett's original vision, and much more.

It has been the vision of the various Trustees for the past quarter century not only to restore the Town Hall to it's 1894 splendor, and to retrofit the structure to preserve it for future generations to enjoy, but for it to become a unifying force in our community for which we can all take pride in.

Ultimately, it is the goal of the Trustees to have an endowment fund established so that the Town Hall can be self sustaining to guarantee it's existence in perpetuity.

Current Effort

A renewed interest in completing the seismic retrofit and restoration of the Ramona Town Hall is currently underway, new committees are being formed, and plans are being made.  What truly promises to be a community project that every citizen of Ramona can take pride in is taking shape. 
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. 
Now that we have covered the back taxes,  we are seeking donations to help cover the approximate annual cost of $12,000 for insurance.  Material and monetary donations for the completion of the finish work is required to open the west wing.  The current estimate to complete the entire front portion of the Town Hall is approximately $250k for materials and labor.  (Qualified Volunteer labor will greatly reduce this estimate.)
