To Kill a Mockingbird

May 6 - Jun. 19

Intended as a "simple love story," Harper Lee's book and its stage adaptation are indeed about the love between a tomboy, Scout, and her friend, Dill. But this quintessential American story explores different types of love on a much broader and deeper level: familial love, neighborly love, the love of honor, duty and goodness, along with the knowledge that in the end, love will triumph over cruelty and hatred. This is a play that should be seen and revisited time after glorious time.

30 DAYS OF CELEBRATION

Saturday, May 01 - Monday,  May 31

Once an enterprising pioneer mill industry, today Gardner Village is a quaint Village of vintage architecture and modern day artistry. Just look inside any of the 22 specialty shops, walk the red brick pathways, or take a gander along the bridges over a duck pond, and you’ll see—the Village, now in its 30th year of business, is still home.

Connect with the past of the National Historic flour mill built in 1853. Enjoy a relaxing day in the slower pace of the old days and experience fresh, new products that are colorful and uplifting in the stores. Come home. Gardner Village is celebrating its 30th year, and we invite you to be a part of the exciting festivities that will happen all month long!
