    Don't come for the food, coffee, or wifi - do come to browse the beauty and ingenuity of the…read moregallery pieces and appreciate the architecture of the space. The Village Green Gallery serves a great niche in Weston. For tourists: The town is in a deadzone for internet, and the cafe offers tables to sit at to check your email. Only, the connection is unreliable in the 6+ times I've visited over the past 2 years. I find the prices for coffee and light pastries to be very expensive, and the service not that great, although there is careful attention paid to keep it all local. In comparison to the tsotchke knick-knacks of the Vermont Country Store and the Weston Village Store, the fine crafted pottery, jewelry, glasswork, and photographs are a breath of fresh air. All the pieces, while expensive, are truly a sight to behold. And there are a handful of intentionally lower-priced items like note cards and glass rings for sale, too. For locals: the Fuji'is host the Weston Film Club for monthly viewings and discussions on foreign and independent films. They also host a book club and open up the space for other community meetings. I highly recommend a viewing (usually during the week) of the Film Club. Pop in to browse! The location right on the West Village Green can't be beat! While this is a favorite, I treat it more like a museum to view the artwork, as there's little there that I can afford there and I've never been wowed by the hospitality of Mrs. Fuji, who's usually behind the counter of the cafe. Look elsewhere for food. Look no further if you need to check your email and want to be inspired by the artwork.

    Just visited the new Gallery on the Green opening and was very impressed with not only the makeover…read moreof this much beloved space but the quality and variety of the art and crafts exhibited as well as the great prices!

    Village Green Gallery - The Village Green Gallery is in the old post office in Weston - a really picturesque town.  When we were there it was full of photographers.

    I agree for the most part with Finnie's review from six years ago. The history is rich and…read morewonderful and the feeling you get when being in the house where one of our founding fathers was born is downright magical. We were here two years ago and again this past week and things seemed different ... while there are no "trinkets", they are now selling books and coffee cups The staff was nice but honestly, there were a couple of folks who worked there that were just unfriendly and seemed very moody. That didn't match my first experience which was warm and welcoming - we almost felt as though we were bothering one gal in particular if we stopped to ask her a question and I was scolded for refilling half and half at the coffee area (I went into the main fridge to grab the creamer to refill it and thought I was being helpful but apparently not). Also for the price, we were hoping for more than continental breakfasts and if meals were not provided, perhaps access to the microwave at the very leas. I haven't eaten so many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for years! One other aspect that was a bit off-putting was before the start of a meeting, we were asked to be careful and not park on the newly-renovated marble sidewalks that cost "$20,000.00 to make" on the first night and the night before we left, cost "$25,000.00." The sidewalks are lovely, but when the house there are leaflets all around stating the house is run "purely on donations," it just gave us pause. Again - the history and nostalgia of the Wilson House is unmatched so all in all, I'm most certain we will return in the future!
