Stay Tuned For Details

Mission Statement

To preserve and restore the Marion Tavern at Grand View Farm by establishing a self-sustaining legacy for the benefit and enjoyment of our citizens and future generations.

Naming Note

References can be found to both the "Grand View Farm" and the "Grandview Farm". Historical precedence goes to the first usage so the Committee recommends using the "Grand View Farm" for future references.

Update

The town has signed a contract with SEA to generate drawings for the new barn, to handle the bidding process and to oversee the Shawsheen work on the interior of the house. The drawings are finished and bids for the Phase II barn work are in. Town Meeting has approved the sale of lots to help fund this work.

Interior work is progressing. Students from the Shawsheen Vocational Technical School have finished drawings for the initial electrical, HVAC and plumbing rough work for the interior of the main house. SEA has reviewed the plans which are now out for approval. Work will begin in the fall when the students return.

The committee is currently seeking input on the Phase II re-creatation of the small barn and on the finishing of the interior of the main house. The goal is to provide space for municipal and community use. The barn construction for Phase II is now expected to start in the spring of 2011.

The Phase 1 bricks have been installed in the commemorative walkway at the traffic bump-out by landscape architect Ryan Wikman of WikWorks. View the Brick Inscriptions.

Please help by attending a meeting, buying a brick (thanks to the almost 300 donors who purchased bricks for the October 2009 placement), buying other commemorative items or making a donation. See the Commemorative Items / Brick Order Form (pdf 434kB).
