The Etna Historical Museum website highlights its history and reads:

The building, was built for the first town Hall, which also housed the fire department, library and jail, was built to resemble Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
This museum is home to a Vintage Parlor; Local Doctors (mannequins); an 1890 farm kitchen; Craftsman's tools; history of Hallie Daggett - 1st US Forest Service Female Look-out Employee;
