Town Hall & Opera House
The first stop on the tour will be the Town Hall which has undergone an extensive renovation in 2015. Since last year, Phase III of the Town Hall Renovation has begun on the second floor of the Town Hall in what was once the opera house and was closed to the public in the 1940s. This space is currently under construction and will soon be reopened as a Community Center for musicals, recitals, dramas, lectures and other entertaining and information programs, as well as for private and corporate gatherings. |

The Bailey House
Next stop on the tour will be the George Franklin Bailey House, located behind the town hall at 112 E. Columbus St., built in 1875. In recent years this home served as the headquarters of the West Liberty Police Department, but in 2016 the police force no longer needed it and a public appeal was made to save the home as one of the oldest in the village. Herb McClain, great-great-grandson of George Bailey gave a large donation for restoration of the home so it can be turned it into a museum, the West Liberty History Center. Members of the History Center Committee will be on hand during the tour to answer questions and take suggestions for the museum. |
