Sugar Grove Community House The Sugar Grove Community Building (aka Sugar Grove Community House) was originally organized in the late 1920s by civic-minded people who were mostly farmers. At the time, the Village had about 150 people. They put a bond referendum up along with donated funds. The cornerstone of the Community Building was engraved with the year 1929, and the builidng was complete in 1933. It became a central place in the township where everyone could meet. The Community Building wasn’t just used for community gatherings, but it was also used for school. There were two classrooms in the basement of the Community Building. The high school boys played basketball upstairs, and everyone used the gym for PE on rainy days. School plays were held there, too. At various points in time, the Community Building also housed the Library, Police Station, and City Hall. It is still used as a meeting place for church spaghetti dinners, scout troops, Karate meets, basketball practice, weddings, and much more.
