The hall was dedicated on December 31, 1878 as Liberty Hall and run originally by the Liberty Hall Association. Money was raised by public subscription for the hall, to be used for community meetings and entertainments. At a later date, the hall was sold. In 1919, the Woods Hole Community Association was formed to buy the hall and return it to its original community purposes. The Association is governed by a board of trustees. The Community Association also leases the adjacent former Fire Station and the nearby Woods Hole School from the Town of Falmouth. The Fire Station has been converted into community meeting rooms and the Woods Hole School hosts a day care cooperative, the Children's School of Science, and other children's educational programs. A variety of local groups rent space in Community Hall for plays, concerts, art shows, dances, and festivals. An artists' cooperative gallery is located in the building. Each group manages the publicity and advertising for its events. Some of the groups post their activities on the WCAI-WNAN public radio website.
