Ashawagh is the American Indian word for "place where two roads come together." This is the perfect way to describe the location of this community center in the Springs section of East Hampton, where Fireplace Road joins Old Stone Highway.

The Springs Improvement Society chose this name when it purchased the former school building in 1909 for a dollar. As it was then, the hall is rented out for local parties and gatherings. Many art shows and fundraisers set up here. A major renovation was held several years ago and now a full-service kitchen, recently renovated bathrooms and open spaces with wood floors are available for use.

The Springs Improvement Society also hosts the annual Artists of the Springs Invitational. The exhibition is held in August to coincide with the Fisherman's Fair. This exhibition also raises funds for the maintenance of Ashawagh Hall.
