Community Hall, Hortonville

This property is entitled to benefits and protections of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended.

It will receive limited protection from encroachment by federally assisted or licensed projects or state facilities development projects, and is eligible to receive federal matching grants for research, restoration, acquisition or stabilization.

Criteria used in selecting sites for the National Register include those places that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

They may be associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. Such a site may represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or that have yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory of history.
