Berryville Legion marks debt-free Community Building
Berryville celebrates the burning of the last Legion debt for the Community Building. Since 1919 the American Legion and Auxiliary supported town needs, hosting Red Cross clinics, scout meetings, fundraisers, and the first skating rink. The post provided land for a pool project and housed National Guard quarters, with John J. Enders Sr. recalling early post history and community efforts.
