So lovely the volunteers were to make the experience enchanting. The staff who contribute to the past but in the present. We toured the fort and the outside. Highly encourage it. I returned back in to get a beautiful clay dish. That I will cherish so much. So beautifully made with love and time. The family that I purchased it from. The beautiful mom was celebrating her 86 birthday. She looked so young and happy!! All I can say is please, please go and experience and donate whatever to keep history alive. Love, Elizabeth

It's a company that offers (at least for what we saw) professional-level acting in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The rambling, older two-story building pleasantly situated in the middle of West Chesterfield has the theater (about 85 or so seats) on the upper level and the offices, restrooms and a lovely parlor on the first floor. The parlor has a wonderfully old-fashioned feel to it, with antique furniture scattered around a room that has coffee, tea and pastries for sale to play-goers before the show and during intermissions. The play we saw, "Private Eyes," was good fun, a show about deception in and out of love, and it had a good attendance for its opening weekend. The theater is doing several staged readings and full productions during the summer of 2013, and we'd recommend you stop by. Tickets are no more than $15 any time. We'll be back.

The activity is…read moreorganized and operated by the Claremont Kiwanis Club, a chapter of the international charity organization known worldwide for its collaboration with UNICEF to enhance children's health among many other activities. Now in its tenth year, the Claremont Brewfest proceeds benefit area children. Last year the Claremont Kiwanis Club was able to donate over $50,000 to build a new playground in town. The brewfest counts with the sponsorship of area businesses as well as over 35 brewers in New England which offer their selections to ticketed guests. Entrance tickets are sold way in advance and they consist of a VIP ticket for $75 - these sold out in 90 minutes the day of the sale, and General Admission pricing that starts at $40 in July and become $55 on the day of event. In addition, numerous food trucks sold food throughout the event. Several hundred people attended this year's event, tasting 4 ounce containers of the brewer's selections. The beers included special Octoberfest editions, IPAs, Double IPAs, Pilsners, Sours, Lagers, Hefeweizens and special selections for those with VIP tickets. The atmosphere was festive and congenial, including a few folks in Lederhosen. Live music was playing throughout the event. The selections, the people, the music and the brewers made this one amazing day.

Service is prompt and friendly, and overall, the experience has consistently been positive. The Friday night AYCE Fish Fry is also a great deal--fish is fresh and crispy--but one serving is all I've been able to manage. Definitely a go-to for casual dining in this area.

I attended a family wedding here. It is a lovey grounds and banquet space…read more I was taken aback at how plain the banquet space is. The room has not color or art work on the walls. Just barren white walls, hardwood floors and 90's gold chandelier's. The food was really good!! 4 stars. Some of the best wedding food I had in a really long time. We had a prime rib carving station and the buffet food was hot and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive as well. The bathrooms were old and needed upkeep and a remodel. The toilet seat in the men's room was very old and stained. Unacceptable.
