Ascend the stairwell to the Grand Ballroom, where you may admire the antique gilt mirrors and Italian chandelier, as well as the famed spring frame floor constructed by Samuel McIntire for effortless dancing. You know a Hamilton Hall wedding is for you, your loved ones, and friends the instant you see the Musicians' Gallery mirrored in the Russian mirrors and anticipate the toss of your bridal bouquet. For a memorable ceremony, combine romance and history. Hamilton Hall is widely regarded as one of the most important Federal structures in America, having been built in 1805 on the newly laid-out Chestnut Street. It still serves as a meeting spot for Salem locals, visitors, and special visitors. The Hall was constructed during the height of Salem's wealth, and it is surrounded by beautiful houses of Salem ship captains and merchants who made fortunes importing exotic commodities from far-flung ports throughout the world. The Hall, designed and built by Salem's renowned architect and woodcarver Samuel McIntire, provides a rare opportunity to see his vision and skill in situ and in a public place. Ongoing events can be as lighthearted as a dance lesson on the spring-based dance floor or as serious as a presentation on nuclear power during the Hall's annual World Affairs Lecture Series; the Hall has a long history of hosting internationally renowned opinion shapers for 75 years. Hamilton Hall events combine the elegance of the past with the vitality of the contemporary.

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium continues to thrive as a destination for all types of attractions under MCM's guidance, and is now busier than ever. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium has hosted events about 250 days a year in previous years. Walking through the structure is like reliving Lowell's and America's military history. All of the major combat sites from the American Revolution, including Bunker Hill and Trenton, Gettysburg and Appomattox, San Juan Hill, Bellows Wood, and Chateau-Thiery, are well-known. Many more fought, bled, and died in lesser-known engagements, which are also commemorated in the entablature. Fair Oaks, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania, Chapultec, Soissons, and other cities have been named after them. To those who fought or died in them, all conflicts are as important. The Auditorium now sits at the gateway to Historic Downtown Lowell, a beautiful and suitable monument to welcome visitors and possibly Belvidere's most proud structure.
