The Great Falls Discovery Center hosts community programs and events, rotating art exhibits in our Great Hall and a Coffee House hosted by the Friends of the Great Falls Discovery Center.
As part of our center’s Food, Farms, and Factories project, we are excited to announce that the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) and Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA) are kicking-off Climate Week with a free showing of the movie Common Ground. The movie includes investigative journalism and personal stories from those in the food movement. Common Ground uncovers the reasons for our broken food system and profiles a hopeful movement of farmers who are using regenerative agriculture.
