PLAY
The former Grange hall houses an 1800 square foot open space with 14 foot ceilings, front porch, a cozy writing nook, and a stage. This is a great place to play. There is room to dance, stretch or paint! And anything else we want to co-create.
THE VILLAGE
The surrounding area offers easy beautiful strolls down country roads, along the majestic hillside, a winding brook and the fantastic Wantastuk River. Longer hikes are a short drive away.
