The Tillotson Center for the Arts is a gem tucked in the center
of Colebrook. A historical building full of character, formerly
the Carriage Barn for the Balsams stagecoach, a Grange Hall,
now transformed into a 171 seat theater for concerts, plays,
movies, art gallery, and events, with a Colebrook Historical
Society museum in the lower level, this venue is quickly becoming
a highlight of the region. Visit tillotsoncenter.org for more information
on upcoming shows.
Historical Societies, school houses, memorial parks, cemeteries
and historical markers are found throughout the region, sharing
the rich history of the region.
A preserved settlement dating back to the 1800’s. Explore the
museum-style buildings and property, featuring artifacts of
yester-year to put your shoes in those of a pioneer farmer. See
