Huntingburg Old Town Hall Endowment

History is the proof of where we have been and how far we have come.  Some of Huntingburg’s history, however, cannot be found in a book or told in a story, but has been built by the hands and hearts of those in the community, past and present.

In 1992, Phyllis Menke and her mother Marian McMurtrie established the Huntingburg Old Town Endowment.  Different from other endowments, this fund didn’t focus on awarding scholarships or aiding nonprofits, but recognized the irreplaceable history that was embedded in the building that was Huntingburg’s first town hall.

Restoring the building using materials from the Old Huntingburg High School, Phyllis and others went to work, refurbishing the building and reinstating the beautiful history it represents.  Now, with the annual support of this endowment, the “Old Town Hall” will remain a historical landmark, forever preserving the memories it holds for its community.
