[3] Although the larger Union Grove to the west of the green is privately owned, it is used for public celebrations.

Also in the Grove near the intersection of Kinney Hollow and Town Hall Roads is a rough-hewn granite slab with a bronze commemorative plaque honoring the site of the first meetinghouse.

[3] In addition to serving a commemorative function, the green is used as a meeting place for parades and other town events.

An Old Home Day celebration is held at the pavilion on the third weekend of August when there is a barbecue and an evening dance.
