Edmond Town Hall was constructed to be a center of community activity in Newtown. Help maintain this focus by becoming a member of the group that supports it.
Mary Hawley may be one of Newtown’s most well-known benefactors, but her personal life is so obscured by Victorian ethos that in reality, she is hardly known at all.
Unlike Ms. Hawley, The Mary Hawley Society does not live a life of recluse. We are involved in many events and projects throughout the year.Wine Tasting to Benefit the Alexandria Room

Evoking Nostalgia in Planning Our Future
As many of the town offices packed up and moved to the new Newtown Municipal Center in Fairfield Hills, the Edmond Town Hall Board of Managers pondered its options for maintaining the Town's notable landmark.
Alexandria Room Refurbished
Nearly 80 years have gone by, but Newtown benefactress Mary Hawley would immediately recognize the Alexandria Room today. For the last two months, the celebrated Edmond Town Hall ballroom has been completely refurbished, to upgrade a “worn” look and to restore its historic beauty. The room is fast-becoming a favorite rental for weddings and special events.
