STONE VALLEY ARTS AT FOX HILL is located in a two-story historic stone church building. Limestone hauled by oxcart was used to build it as the first Methodist Church in the state of Vermont in 1822. The Millerites began using the site in 1841. In 1869, the Masons purchased the Stone Church for a lodge. One hundred thirty-eight years later, it was sold to Rita Fuchsberg and Irene Minkoff, whose dream was to convert the historic landmark into a center for the arts. They bequeathed the building to the Preservation Trust of Vermont, which gave ownership of the property to Stone Valley Arts, with the stipulation that it be a community art center for Poultney. The gallery can hold approximately 200 small works, making it a perfect venue for the Monotype Guild of New England’s first live (mailed in) exhibit in 2021.
