Troy-Hayner Cultural Center

Experience the arts at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center. In 1942, the mansion was willed to the Troy Board of Education to be used as a library, museum, or for other educational and cultural purposes. It served as the Public Library from 1943 to 1976, and in 1977 turned into the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center. It has provided the community with  years of art classes, traveling exhibits, speakers, music, and other events. 2026 marks the 50th year of the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, the golden anniversary.
