Bemis Hall

Welcome to Bemis Hall, a cherished community venue located at 15 Bedford Road, Lincoln, Massachusetts. Owned and operated by the Town of Lincoln, Bemis Hall serves as a vibrant hub for local activities and gatherings. During weekdays, it is home to the Lincoln Council on Aging and Human Services, offering a range of programs and services that enrich the lives of our senior residents.

On evenings and weekends, Bemis Hall transforms into a versatile space available for Lincoln residents and organizations to rent. The historic upstairs hall, boasting a spacious 2,000 square feet, is ideal for lectures, concerts, performances, private receptions, business functions, memorial services, and recitals. It features a stage and piano, providing a charming backdrop for your event. Please note, due to limited parking and kitchen facilities, we recommend larger events such as wedding receptions be held at alternative venues like the Pierce House.

For smaller gatherings, the cozy 400 square foot Map Room is perfect for meetings and events accommodating up to 20 people. Larger activities should be held in the upstairs hall.

Please be aware that the upstairs hall lacks air conditioning and can become warm from mid-June through mid-September. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we advise opening at least one window on each side of the hall for air circulation, even in colder months.

For your convenience, consumables and equipment such as the coffee maker and coffee urn are reserved for the Council on Aging and Human Services and are not available for renter use. Limited refrigerator space may be available; please check with the COA&HS or consider bringing a cooler for your refrigerated items.

Entrance and exit are restricted to the front door, with all other doors designated for emergency use only.
