The Town Hall is a single story building constructed of both brick and wood. The entrance way is recessed with 2 doors on the right and left. The recessed portico is supported by four columns. Flanking the entrance way on both sides are brick structures with Palladium windows.




Clarksburg was first settled in 1764 and officially incorporated in 1798.

Captain Matthew Ketchum, Colonel William Bullock, and Nicholas Clark are credited with settling the area in 1769; Clark later became Clarksburg's namesake. The town began as a mostly agrarian community, with mills springing up along the waterways in the nineteenth century. The major mills were one to make cashmere, and several mills supplied gunpowder during the Civil War. However, the industry was stopped by the town after one of the mills exploded in 1869.
