The Children’s Exchange began officially in Nov. 1942 under the “Committee of Public Safety.” To meet residents' needs, they planned a “second-hands goods” sale. Identifying a continued need, the Children’s Exchange opened in the Unitarian Church on Jan. 3,1943. Then it moved to the Town Hall in the fall of 1943.
