About the Williams~Boltwood Project
Discovering, Sharing & Preserving What Matters, includes working with a team of experts to learn the history of the property, the dwelling & all the family’s artifacts to showcase the importance of one family’s contribution, for establishing a successful commerce hub that formed the cornerstone of a community. This discovery phase will reveal the social, economic & political development of a quintessential New England town from the time of the Revolutionary war through the 20th century.
The Vision
Williams-Boltwood Project will be a new kind of community hub - an exciting space where people to come together to work, learn, play, and connect. Visitors will find an interactive, forward-thinking destination that merges retail space selling local art work and co-working office
space for small business owners with historically preserved community meeting rooms. The tavern will be a comfortable drop-in space to share a cup of coffee and meet up with friends. Whether you are working or playing here you will be surrounded by the rich history of the building and its thousands of artifacts from the 1700 & 1800s. When the work day is over, workshops and cultural activities will be available for a wide-reaching audience.
