The Hughes Memorial Union
The Hughes Memorial Union is a community space in partnership with the Hughes Library, a 501(c)(3) corporation. Our goal is to enrich the community while honoring the original intentions of our donors.
The Union is a venue for collaborating and holds a meeting space, free of charge, and The Wellness Collective, dedicated to health and well-being with weekly classes by local practitioners open to the public. The teachers contribute 10% of their proceeds to the overall mission. The Local is your neighborhood shop filled with local meat, fresh locally baked bread and sweets along with crafts and creations all available for purchase with 90% of the proceeds returned to the vendor.
OUR MISSION
The Hughes Memorial Union is a community hub that promotes learning, work, wellness and the local economy. It encompasses The Local, a market for farmers and artisans, The Union, a venue for collaborating, and The Hughes Memorial Library, held in trust for future growth.
The Local
The Local is our very own artisan store containing a little bit of everything. From local meat and vegetables, freshly baked bread and desserts to artisan crafts and art for your walls, this store really has it all! Profits from The Local are given back to the community with local artisans receiving 90 percent of the sale.
Yoga & more
The Wellness Collective was created with community in mind. Weekly yoga, wellness and dance classes mean there is a place for everyone. Any person can utilize this space so if there isn’t a class in the calendar feel free to reach out and plan a class of your own. Email teachers directly to make sure class is on and note that all wellness classes take place upstairs and can be accessed through the side door.
