The Merrickville Old Town Hall was built as the seat for Wolford Township around 1856. The building originally served as administration headquarters, lockup, entertainment centre and fire hall. Merrickville incorporated in 1861 and took over the building. From the 1860s to the 1840s, in addition to serving as a town hall it was used for a grammar school, drill hall, dance hall and silent movie theatre.
In the 1940s it became unsafe to use and passed through a series of private owners until 1982 when a group of citizens formed the Heritage Merrickville Foundation. The Foundation acquired the hall in 1984 and began its restoration, completed in 1989.
