Yours, Mine and Ours!


Today, the Falls Village Children's Theater finally took title to the old Emerson Building at 103 Main Street (the one-time Methodist Church that opened in 1901). The purchase was made possible by donations from the Town of Canaan, foundations, businesses and more than 80 individuals. It will now be known as the Falls Village Community and Cultural Center. Once it has been renovated, it will be used not only for FVCT classes and rehearsals but also for meetings and events organized by other groups such as the Falls Village Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Department, the Ladies Auxiliary, the David M. Hunt Library, the Girl Scouts and the Historical Society. You can have your first look inside the historic shingled building and view its stained glass windows on Memorial Day after the annual parade. FVCT will host a reception (relieving the Fire Department of that duty) with snacks and, of course, entertainment. Everyone should feel welcome and at home, because now the building really belongs to all of us.
