The Old Town Hall building was erected in 1859. In the early years, it was the most constantly used buildings in Tallmadge.
The building was often visited by touring and local theatrical troupes who performed on a stage in the Old Town Hall. The building had also been converted to serve as Council Chambers and the Mayor’s Office on the second floor and the police station on the first. The town jail was in the basement. In 1971, after the Mayor and Council moved to the "new" City Hall, the City allowed the Historical Society to create a museum on the second floor. The area was transformed into a “mini street of shops” with a “village green” and a look into early life in Tallmadge. Artifacts of Tallmadge are used to furnish the museum. In 1980, when the police department vacated the first floor, the Historical Society entered into a ninety-nine-year lease for the entire building. At that time they began converting the first floor into a museum setting with picture of times gone past. The first floor is filled with artifacts from Bumpas Drug, the original "Jug" from 1822, and artifacts from Tallmadge Little League and a Soap Box Derby. The building and both the first and second floor are open at all community activities held in Tallmadge Circle. For a personal tour text 330.689.6813
