The Harman Center opened in May of 2004. The beautifully decorated building is home to the city’s many, varied senior programs. Visitors enjoy the coffee bar, computer lab, billiards room, ballroom and classrooms. In the colder months, the two-story fire place is enjoyed by many! Consider hosting your next celebration in the Harman Center. We have a wonderful ballroom and a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen.
