Vernon's Valley Falls Heritage Center Tours In Full Swing

VERNON, CT — The new Valley Falls Heritage Center in Vernon continues to expand its offerings and is now now open on Sundays.

The center is scheduled to be open from 1 to 4 p.m. every Sunday in July and August. The center is located at 345 Valley Falls Road.

The center is part of an 8-acre farm that is considered one of the most scenic spots in town. On the property are a vintage stable, dairy barn, root cellar and three additional unique buildings. Most items on display are original to the property.

Interpretive information panels, tools and household items tell the story of the farm, its former owners and the Valley Falls area.

Admission is free; donations welcome. Visitors can park in the lot where the Red Barn is located, or at Valley Falls Park and walk the short hillside path to the Farm.

Founded in 1972, the Friends of Valley Falls, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving history and nature. For additional events, visit www.friendsofvalleyfalls.org or its Facebook page: The Friends of Valley Falls, Inc Vernon CT
