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, 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.
