About Us

The day to day operation of the Community House is under the direction of the Executive Director and her staff.

The Community House of Hamilton & Wenham is a non-profit organization which sponsors cultural, social, educational and recreational programs. In 1921 such offerings included a special men's smoking room and canning classes for women. Nowadays, offerings include a variety of family and children's programs, activities for seniors, community events and space for gatherings of all types.

The Community House of Hamilton & Wenham has hosted activities for all ages for more than 80 years, while serving citizens of Hamilton and Wenham. Many residents have fond memories of the Friday Night Movies, scout meetings, bowling, dances and more at the Community House.

At present we are host to many programs and activities for families and children, programs for Adults and Seniors, our Special Friends and the many community organizations who meet here regularly. Our lovely Main Hall and President's Library are the perfect location for an intimate wedding reception, anniversary, special birthday celebration of business function.
