On Feb. 22, 1894, Ramona Town Hall was dedicated to the community by Augustus and Martha Barnett. It became a primary gathering place and home to a public high school, library, bank, courthouse, sheriff’s office, Chamber of Commerce, basketball court, dance venue, and theater for films and live entertainment, among other uses.

In the years since a 1995 arson fire required the building to undergo major renovations, the East and West wings have been restored and are again being used as a meeting spot for local groups and community events.
