Market Square is formed by the intersection of Mugford, State and Washington Street. This also is the original spot for the original settlement of Marblehead, known as Old Marblehead. It is Georgian in design and the work of local craftsmen. The second floor was used by John Goodwin Post 82 of the Grand Army of the Republic as the permanent meeting hall in 1898. The room still has all the original furniture and artifacts preserved. Today it is home to Marblehead Historical Society.
