VILLAGE HALL

The historic Village Hall is located at 201 4th St. It was constructed in the late 1930's as a WPA project and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nationally, it is noted as the location where the Senator Hubert H. Humphrey made several speeches when he was running for President of the United States. Locally, the building is known for its history of big band Saturday night dances and for the many wedding receptions that have been held there since its doors opened in 1940. Today, the Hall is still used for wedding receptions, anniversary parties, family reunions, benefits and other gatherings. In early February the Hall hosted the annual and well-known Lions Fish Fry and, in the Fall, the Annual Waverly Volunteer Fireman's Pork Chop Dinner.
