The Town of Roxbury honored its former leader, Barbara Henry, on April 25 with a surprise ceremony dedicating the town’s senior center as the Barbara M. Henry Senior Center in recognition of her 24 years of service to the town as first selectman. Those in attendance agreed it was one of the crowning achievements of her administration to have saved and renovated the historic building, which served as the Roxbury Town Hall up until 1991, into the thriving center for seniors it is today and, as such, it was only fitting that the building bear her name.
