Work on the Addition Begins!
On March 15th after several years of planning and fundraising, we broke ground on the much-needed addition to our historic building at 15 School Street, Unionville. We are very excited that work has begun. It is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
The addition will make our museum more accessible and allow us to expand our programs and events. The Museum Board is grateful to our many members and donors, businesses and civic organizations for their generous donations and commitment to our mission to preserve Unionville’s history and make it come alive for all. We are also grateful to the Town of Farmington for their ongoing support and partnership.
