After the founding of the Local Heritage Society, the need for a Village Hall was great, and a suitable plot of land was required. The problem was solved when the pilot Fridolf Öhman and his wife Anni donated a plot on Enskär, the northern tip of Utö, in 1955.

Already the previous year, funds had begun to be collected for the construction, and the foundation was poured as voluntary communal work by the villagers that same year. Preparations were made to continue the construction, and creating the financial conditions for it was not easy.

Adolf Höglander writes in the society's 1965 historical account: “The difficulties were great and numerous, but the will was strong and the faith steadfast.” The collection of funds and material donations continued. The Maritime Administration assisted with transportation. The construction progressed, and by July 14, 1958, the work had advanced far enough that the Utö Village Hall could begin to be used by the members.

In the following years, the interior work in the premises continued, though at times it proceeded rather slowly due to strained finances. On July 3, 1965, the Village Hall was inaugurated with economist Göran Grönroos as the keynote speaker. The author Hjalmar Krokfors read a poem dedicated to the occasion. Now, the society's largest project had been completed—the building was constructed and inaugurated. In Adolf Höglander’s own words: “With concrete and iron, with wood and glass, this house was built, but also with the youth’s reverence for the past and faith in the future.”

The Local Heritage Society had long had a goal of establishing an archive where materials related to the island’s history could be preserved for research and other purposes. This became possible as the society's finances improved and opportunities to obtain grants increased.

After receiving a positive grant decision from the Finnish Heritage Association, work to establish an archive in the Village Hall began in May 2013. The archive now stores documents related to the island’s history and that of the Utö Local Heritage Society.

In the basement of the Village Hall, a room was furnished for postal services, and this room, known as the Old Post Office, is now used for accommodations.
