Valley Falls Heritage Center Opens June 8

The Friends of Valley Falls announce that the Farm and Heritage Center opens for the season on Saturday, June 8, which is also CT Open House Day.

The grounds and buildings will be open from 1-4 pm and a special docent-led tour of the Heritage
Center will be from 2-3 pm. Self-guided tours of the buildings can be taken throughout the afternoon
and John Maston will be at the stable to talk about the rewards of beekeeping. Valley Falls Farm has a long history of raising bees and harvesting honey in beehives on the property.

Those visiting on opening day will receive a free packet of seeds to plant (while supplies last). Visitors are also welcome to stroll the eight-acre property, bring a picnic, and listen to the recently-restored vintage jukebox located in the stable.

To help support the Heritage Center and its programs, Valley Falls T-shirts, notecards and posters will be for sale. Checks and cash only, please. Membership flyers will also be available.

Following opening day on June 8, the Heritage Center and Farm will be open 1-4 pm Sundays in June and July, beginning June 16.

Admission is free; donations are always welcome. Address is 300 Valley Falls Road with limited parking at the Red Barn Welcome Center and additional parking at Valley Falls Park.
