History The Cashton Community Center use to be a gymna-

sium. It was used by many local families many years

ago; and is again since it has been recently remod-

eled into the Community Hall.

The original building had skylights that are still intact

but you can’t see them because of the new ceiling.

Future plans for the building is to remodel the roof/

ceiling to its original structure to bring back the sky-

lights.

looking nice, and make needed

repairs.
