Summary
The hall, constructed in 1934 in Mitchell, has a significant, historic association with entertainment, diversion, and recreation of various types. Sandford Hall has been known throughout much of the North Platte Valley area as a central location for social gatherings. The hall was constructed to replace a similar structure that burned down, the Mitchell Dance Pavilion. The speed of the pavilion's replacement attests to the significance the community placed on the need for this type of facility. Additionally, the nationally recognized quality of entertainment provided at Sandford Hall, as well as the number of people who attended events there, reflects the significance of the structure.
