Special community resource centre located the Old Hespeler Town Hall in downtown Hespeler Village, established in 1992 as a sociology research project by local citizens and Professors C. Kenneth Banks of Wilfred Laurier University & J. Marshall Mangan of The University of Western Ontario.

The organization grew to encompass: a community drop-in centre, community events, book and newsletter publishing, and with the establishment of the history group in 1994, the largest collection of Hespeler-related archival material anywhere in the world.
