Sebewaing Township was organized in 1853. In 1877 the board resolved to use “liquor money” to build this township hall. The atypical two-story building included voting booths, a courtroom, a jury room, a jail, and a meeting hall. Its front door was off center to accommodate double engine-room doors until the fire department vacated the building in 1883. In 2006 the Sebewaing Area Historical Society restored the hall to its 1878 appearance.
