The town of Foxboro is fortunate to have Memorial Hall as a location for the Museum and Archives of Foxboro. This granite building that looks like a church but has never been used for that purpose. It was originally built as a GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) memorial, designated as "a more suitable monument" for the Civil War. Additionally the building housed Foxboro's town library until 1965.
The Foxboro building sits on the south outer edge of the Foxboro Common in the Center burying ground. Some graves were moved to Rockhill Cemetery to locate this building.
The building has a twin in Aurora, Illinois which was initially used as a GAR memorial and library, but the Aurora duplicate has been used for a variety of purposes.
This is a free museum and contains archives. Memorial Hall is open on Wednesdays from 7:00 - 9:00 PM EST and the 2nd Saturday of each month from 9:00 - noon EST except holidays. Telephone is (508) 543-1248. Mailing address is 40 South Street, Foxboro, MA 02035.
