I visited the Eastern Connecticut Center for History, Art, and Performance at The Mill Works in Willington, CT. This is a community space where history, art, music, theater, and local culture all come together.
We were there to enjoy Allison Pillari’s art exhibition and tour the historic Gardiner Hall Jr. building, along with a preview of the soon-to-open Hall Museum. It was great to see how the organization is preserving local history while creating space for artists, performances, community gatherings, church services, and even innovative businesses like One Medical Passport.
A special thank you to Tom Buccino for sharing the vision and history behind this remarkable place. Also pictured with us is Catherine McCarthy, one of the talented interns helping support EC-CHAP’s mission.

Connecticut Water has asked PURA to approve a $29 million rate increase, which could add about $190 per year to the bills of most residents in the 35th District served by Connecticut Water.
