Built in 1935, the Scipio Town Hall was one of more than 230 public works buildings constructed in Utah under various New Deal programs during the Depression years of the 1930s and 1940s. These projects included schools, county courthouses, libraries, National Guard armories, and many other buildings. The Scipio Town Hall was intended to serve both as a town hall and as a meeting place for civic and political functions in the community. Two Scipio men, Will and Lew Critchley, worked as the building's brick and stone masons. Several years after construction, probably in the late 1940s, a brick vestibule was added to the front. The building is a good example of the stylized classicism associated with the PWA Moderne architectural style in Utah. In 1986, it was renovated with funds raised principally by the Round Valley Camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers for use as a museum for the D.U.P. and as a Senior Citizens Center.
