About Merrimack Hall
In the words of co-founder Alan Jenkins, “Merrimack Hall is not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about the arts revitalizing a neighborhood.” Merrimack Hall’s renovations have created a positive economic impact on our neighborhood — the historic Merrimack Mill Village — and on the community as a whole in a number of ways.
