Thinking About A Tricentennial Tribute Project – Carriage Shed The Tricentennial Committee is proposing a historic reproduction 50′ x 16′ Carriage Shed for Canterbury Center — a covered community space for gatherings, performances, celebrations, and events. The goal is to build and fund it through community donations of money, materials, and labor. Once completed, it could be given to the Town with an endowment for maintenance. The proposed project is currently under consideration by the Town boards and related Trustees. Learn more: canterburyhistory.org/shed
