The Old Town Hall is listed in the National and Massachusetts Registers of Historic Places. As it has for generations, it continues to serve Lincoln as a gathering place, a host for local business, and a stately historic focal point.

Stewardship
In 1962, when Sumner Smith put the building up for sale, a group of concerned citizens formed a non-profit corporation to purchase and restore the Old Town Hall for the continued benefit of the town. Since then, the stewardship of the Old Town Hall has been entrusted to The Lincoln Old Town Hall Corporation, a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation and management of the structure, landscape, and legacy of this very special mid-nineteenth century building.

Commercial Leases
Anchored on the ground floor by the US Post Office and a shop space that has over the years been host to General Stores and The Old Town Hall Exchange, the Old Town Hall is also home to a suite of light-filled offices on the second floor, overlooking conservation land and Lincoln’s historic district.
Each of the four offices share the upstairs landing and hallway, a conference room, a newly refurbished restroom, and separate, secure side entrance. Each has dedicated wifi, and all utilities and common area charges are included.

The Exchange
Opened in 1963 as a member of the Federation of Woman's Exchanges, the Old Town Hall Exchange today is a source for local art and handcrafts, as well as antique and vintage furniture, housewares and tabletop items. All items that make up The Exchange are donated or consigned by local individuals and organizations, with 70% of the retail price returned to consignors, and the remainder a source of revenue that is directed to building maintenance.
