The building was originally constructed in 1904, with money left to the town by Benjamin Adams, a distant cousin to John Quincy Adams. Over the years the Adams Memorial Building has served as Library, Town Hall, Opera House, Police Station, District Court, Chamber of Commerce, and surely has been the center of Town social activities.

The building survived fires in 1914 and 1927 and underwent extensive restoration in 2004.
