Save The Bell Tower
As you may notice as you drive by The Malden Bridge Community Center, sadly, the iconic bell tower feature of our building is in need of essential repairs and restoration. Concerns about the bell tower’s long-term stability started to be raised a few years ago. Several area businesses have evaluated the need for repair. All are in agreement that significant work is necessary which is a major expense. We are committed to raising funds to meet the need for repair. The former Wesley United Methodist Church, was erected in 1830. The front vestibule, choir loft and bell tower was added between 1874-1876. Some members of the community can trace their family connection to the former church back over a century. The bell tower is a cherished part of the history of Malden Bridge. We are actively fundraising to Save The Bell Tower and exploring/applying for matching grant(s) to help meet the needs of this expense.

Together, let’s ensure a community space for the next generation.
