Kidz Konnection was founded in 2006 by NYU Tisch School of the Arts graduate, Laura Attanasio as an inclusive place for students to build community, explore classic literature, and express their creativity after school. From humble beginnings of less than ten students performing one show every few months, Kidz Konnection is now the Shoreline’s best Arts Academy, offering a wide range of programs, classes, and productions for all ages.

The Adam Stanton House and General Store was built in 1791 by a wealthy, striving merchant-businessman whose entrepreneurial spirit and extraordinary taste can be seen in every aspect of this unique house museum. Filled with clothing, furnishings, documents, and store inventory all belonging to the original Stanton family, the house provides a glimpse into 18th and 19th century life in a privileged New England family home. In 1916, the house was left in trust by Adam Stanton's heirs to become a house museum. It has been open to the public ever since.  Adam Stanton House, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3).
