The Dixmont Town House was built in 1836, probably by Rowland Tyler (1780-1872), one of Dixmont's original settlers. Tyler was the documented builder of the Dixmont Corner Methodist Church, formerly known as the Union Church, built in 1834-1835, and the original Bangor City Hall, built in 1812 and demolished in 1892. The Town House was built with a king-post trussing system, fabricated with mortise and tenon joinery and held together with wooden pegs. Its interior is a single, open room designed for town meetings and other town gatherings. The first town meeting was held there in 1837 and then yearly until 1922. From 1922 to 1952 it was used intermittently for town meetings. After 1952, various civic and private functions were held there. In 2003 the Dixmont Historical Society Committee was established, and one of the committee's first projects was renovation of the deteriorating Town House, with the goal of returning the historic structure to use as a community building for public, private, and educational events.
