The Market Building has held the farmers' market since 1887. The Scottish farmers' market dates back to 1830 in Galt. The older section of the present building was a vegetable market, and for a time the butchers could be found in the basement of the neighbouring Town Hall. The two storey section was added in 1896. Besides a market, the building once housed Galt's early library (the Mechanic's Institute), and Galt's Kiltie Band.
