My husband and I were married at the Cobblestone Church…It was a lovely experience and a beautiful backdrop for our special day!

Thank you for putting on a stellar event tonight for First Friday. I always love coming to Orleans county for these kinds of community socials. Kim always did a bang up job at Marti’s on Main, and she didn’t disappoint tonight. Showcasing the museum this way is fabulous!
