THE ARMS WILL BE CLOSED TODAY, JANUARY 29TH, due to the incoming storm. We all need to keep folks safe, and let the highway people do their work. Please, everyone stay off the roads if you can, stay warm and stay safe.

The Arms is going to begin opening in Sundays, 12-3 p.m., beginning February 5th. Away from the busyness of the work week, we think it will be a sweet time for families to read together in the children's room, catch up with neighbors, read the newspapers in our sunny, southern facing reading room, or just relax with a good book in one of our comfy chairs.
