The James Merrill House, owned and operated by the Stonington Village Improvement Association, is nationally-known for its year-round Writer-in-Residence Program. The James Merrill House will open its first Visitors Center in Spring 2022 to improve digital and community access to the James Merrill House and its collections, and better serve the expanded digital and in-person communities created during COVID-19. CTH funds will support staff time and technology.
