How should the old Bridgewater Town Hall be repurposed?

The historic Town Hall at 64 Central Square in Bridgewater, MA, was constructed in 1843 in the fashionable Greek Revival architectural style. With the renovation of the Academy Building, all town offices that are currently housed in the Town Hall will be relocated to the Academy Building. What do you think the Town Hall should be used for once it is no longer needed to house town offices? Share your ideas here!

A Bridgewater Museum filled with things related to the history of Bridgewater. The building could stay the same (after renovations of course) and it would be educational for all the students.
 
The memorial building would serve as a museum once the town offices move out

Wow, we have a football star (or near-star) here in town!
I think the main purpose of the site is to generate ideas. I trust they will be vetted down the road.
