About Us

History:

The Limehouse Memorial Hall is located in the heart of the village of Limehouse, in the Town of Halton Hills (formerly Esquesing Township) between Acton and Georgetown at the intersection of Fifth Line and Regional Road 43 (22nd Sideroad).

​

The building was constructed in 1876 by George Grant using local materials as a Methodist Episcopal Church on land provided by Thomas Gowdy Sr., a local businessman. It served as a place of worship for nearly 63 years before closing in 1939. Through the strong efforts of the local Women's Institute, the building was purchased and reopened in 1945 just after World War II. It was renamed the Limehouse Memorial Hall in memory and in honour of those who served in both World Wars.

​

The community accepted responsibility for the hall from the Limehouse Women’s Institute in 1996.  The Limehouse Memorial Hall Board was then formed to oversee the operation and maintenance of the Memorial Hall. The building has since remained a cherished landmark and gathering place for the community.

 

The historic building is used regularly for rentals, meetings, family gatherings, coffee house evenings and annual hall community events such as the Strawberry Social in June, the Corn Roast and BBQ in the fall, and the Light Up the Garden and Sweets with Santa in December.
