Restoration efforts at the historic West Liberty Town Hall will be highlighted during the West Liberty Christmas Tour of Homes from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, hosted by the West Liberty Business Association
The town hall is the first stop on the tour, where the renovation is under way on the second floor that once featured an opera house. The space has been closed to the public since the 1940s.

When construction is complete, this second story space will be re-opened and re-purposed as a community center for musicals, recitals, dramas, lectures and other entertainment and information programs, as well as for private and corporate gatherings.
