The Willimantic Victorian Neighborhood Association, LLC, which meets the last Sunday of each month from 3:30 - 5:00, has elected officers and a board of directors and has a mailing list of over 200. It has become a respected presence in the community through participation of its members on the Town and Gown Committee and the Windham Region Chamber of Commerce’s highly successful Victorian Home Tour. During the first annual show  in 1999, over 1000 people visited the ten charming homes which were open. In the past 7  years over 40 different homes were open to an additional 600 visitors each year.

 

    

Membership information and an application  are included here for potential members. To encourage restoration and single-family ownership, business and financial leaders offer valuable incentives, including paint and financial assistance.

    

Each monthly meeting, chaired by current president Robert Horrocks, features a speaker on a topic related to preservation, finance, law, town government and restoration development. These informative sessions are frequently followed by a visit to a member’s home and then a potluck supper.  All in all, an enjoyable mix of business, education and fellowship.

    

Come join us, not only as visitors to our homes of which we are so proud, but as members and supporters of the Willimantic Victorian Neighborhood Association.
