Join us for Village Improvement Society’s 95th Annual Family Picnic at Riverwalk Pavilion!

Food and drink is provided by VIS. Started in the late 1800’s by Ehrick Rossiter, Village Improvement Society was an informal association funded by gifts requested by Mr. Rossiter to support local projects as they arose. VIS was formally organized in 1928 and the Mission remains the same: “To care for the natural beauties of Washington and to provide for its need in particular relations to public lawns, trees, sidewalks in the centers of the Village, Washington, and Washington Depot, including the New Preston Station area.”
