Be A Friend of the Hall

The Tomales Town Hall is more than just the building and the grounds. It comes alive through the people who sustain it and those who participate in its many events.
Friends of the Hall encourage interest, communication, and involvement in the Hall's mission. In many ways, the Friends are the Hall's foundation, lending support, encouragement, and assistance of all kinds for what we do.

Volunteering has been the mainstay of the Hall since 1874, when it was built by neighboring settlers. For over 150 years, we’ve been maintained and operated solely by volunteers. This long tradition is one we encourage and proudly carry on.
This is where you come in.
Everything at the Hall is done by volunteers. We appreciate commitments of time and skills, no matter what they are. Want more events at the hall? Help organize one. Not that ambitious? Come help us operate an event. Got carpentry (electrical, plumbing, etc.) skills? There is always something to fix on our 150 year old building!
We are especially looking for additional trustees. The Tomales Town Hall, despite its name, is not a government entity. We’re very literally owned by the community. If you enjoy our programs and parties, show your support by dedicating one night a month to the hall’s governance, planning, and maintenance.

The Tomales Town Hall may have seen more varieties of involvement—educational, political, artistic, and social —than any other building for miles around.
