Listed on the National Registry

of Historical Locations, the Town Library/Town Hall was built in 1908 and was originally, for the time and place, a luxurious hotel. In 1937 the hotel was purchased and converted into a hospital by the pioneer of Eastern Colorado surgeon, Dr. McBride. It became the Town Hall in 1967. It currently includes a museum upstairs with memorabilia from both the hotel and the hospital.

The Hal Borland Room

located in the Town Library celebrates the life and accomplishments of author Hal Borland, a Flagler native.

Mr. Borland grew up in Flagler where he began his work as a writer penning articles for the local paper for his father. He later moved on to not only author many books, but he also wrote for the New York Times. He passed away in 1978.
