The Seven Stars Center has an amazing history. Built in the mid-nineteenth century on the Beaver Meadow Road, it was a Baptist Church for many years. In 1875, when the congregation had dwindled, the building was disassembled and moved to its present location, where it has served
as a Grange Hall, a Universalist Church, and a venue for community theater. The bell and clock in the tower are among the last remaining examples in Vermont of antique clockworks.
Restoration of the clock, which presently is not functional, is one of VTISA's future projects.
Purchase of the Center would not have happened without the hard work and dedication of our Board. In April, 2007, a wonderful group of volunteers painted the performance hall and created a vestibule in the front entryway.
We now have handicap accessibility, and hope to soon have items like new windows, soundproofing, and safety items such as modernized doors.
We hope you will visit the Seven Stars, sign up for a class or for private lessons, or join an ensemble!
