Visitors can also see the newest DHS exhibits, including the Dorset women who first voted in 1920, a collection of paintings and memorabilia of the late Dorset artist Arthur Jones, and much more!

Between 1:00 and 3:00pm, the Dorset Village Library is hosting its 7th Dog Days event with furry critters entitled to a piece of  Milla’s Gotcha Day cake! Dog owners can have a hamburger or hotdog.
