The Ghost Walk on Main is back at Benham’s Grove on Thursday October 9, where guests will enjoy a hearty box lunch and drinks before embarking on a unique journey with vivid storytelling and reenactments from our town’s extensive history – with ghostly tales to boot. This year has all new dramas, save one crowd favorite. We are adding an option to end at Meridien with a beverage and dessert. Go here to grab your tickets on September 9!
The Centerville Library renovation is progressing beautifully and right on schedule. Demolition revealed window walls that will frame the new Children's Room, emphasizing openness and natural light.
We’re also adding more meeting rooms and relocating the makerspace, Creativity Commons, to the Centerville Library. The library remains open with limited browsing but full hold pickup service. Completion is scheduled for early next summer.
Want to see some photos of the renovation? Go here and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to watch the renovation unfold.
