What is Willington on the Way?
We’re a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history and unique character of Willington. We believe the best way to keep history alive is to invite people in, encourage curiosity, and create places where the past can be enjoyed today.
And that’s where our Bookshop, Curiosity Shop, and History Center come in! ❤️
📚The Willington Bookshop — Four historic buildings filled with more than 40,000 pre-loved books, with most priced at $3 or less. Every book you purchase helps support the History Center and upkeep our historic buildings
🔎The Curiosity Shop — A treasure hunter’s delight, from unique collectibles and pieces of the past, you never know what you’ll discover. Like The Bookshop proceeds help support the preservation of Willington’s historic buildings and the History Center’s collections.
🏛️The History Center — Explore exhibits, artifacts and stories of the people and events that helped shape our community. It’s a place to learn, remember, and appreciate the history that surrounds us.
Together, these places help preserve history, support our mission, and keep Willington alive and welcoming for generations to come.
And none of it happens without our amazing volunteers, donors, visitors, and supporters. ❤️
So, if you haven’t visited lately—or if you’ve never been—come get acquainted. We can't wait to show you around!!
