The Village Square is located on the site of the former stone carriage works building. It is anchored by a series of dry stone walls that incorporate elements of the original building.

The stone moon gate was created by Eric Landman, and Neal Rippengate from Scotland helped to build it; Daniel Sinclair created the bronze bonsai tree; Norman Haddon, stonemason at Balmoral Castle, craftsmen from Vermont and local stonemason Eric Landman built the various walls with the help of local residents.
