Built in the Fall of 1898, it was quite a feat. The original town hall burnt down in the spring of 1898, and it was decided a new hall would be built. The grand opening for the new hall was March 1, 1899 at the cost of $5000.00<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221;

The Dead Zone, First do no Harm, and Dracula 2000. Also, the television program Wind at my Back, filmed some of its episodes at this location. In this, the Hall has seen such stars as, Pauline Johnson, John Candy, Meryl Streep, Gerard Butler, Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen.<\/p>\n<p>The Hall was mostly forgotten for quite a few years when a local citizen became a guiding force in the preservation of the hall. Ann Dreslinski was the Chair Person of the Hall Board for 20 years. Through her, money was raised such as the spaghetti dinner which has been an annual fundraiser since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The one hundred year anniversary event was planned in 1998, with the whole community taking part. A kitchen was added onto the hall in 2001, making the Hall perfect for wedding and community events.<\/p>\n<p>The Orono Town Hall is considered the Heart of Orono and is such a beautiful addition to the quaint Village.

Then in 1898 Orono Built it\u2019s first Victorian Bandstand. It was used until 1970.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998 an Orono resident, Dave Climenhage, decided to re-create the Victorian Bandstand. In 2000, the Orono DBIA offered $2500.00 from it\u2019s Main Street Millennium Funding. Within a month over $10,000.00 had been donated, and a beautiful Victorian style Bandstand came into being.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.8&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.8&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.8&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>What is unique to Orono\u2019s Bandstand ? The Weathervane is a Trombone.

Climenghage pg 80 -81.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Bandstand was built it was at once used for \u201cThe Great Canadian Band Festival\u201d &amp; Canada Day Festivities. Unfortunately the Band festival is no longer take place. Many weddings have been hosted at the Orono Gazebo.<\/p>\n<p>The lovely flagstone walkway was installed in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
