Always a poor experience visiting this place

No official buildings answers the phone in this town! Poor to no customer service! And the city hall don’t want to adress it or even know or can provide the correct number of the official buildings! Pathetic!

The little red brick building and its neighbor, a classic whitewashed New England style church building, make up the town offices in Petersham. The town website is fairly standard, having decent information but being difficult to navigate and read. The exterior of these buildings, especially the former church, could use some TLC.
