Great venue in the making! Restoring it so well. It hosted the farmers market tonight, even had excellent food trucks and live music from a young talented guy, named Truman. The atmosphere is wonderful. They are restoring the historical convent, it is worth seeing! Come check it out.

I've been obsessed with this place since I was a little girl, when it was run down and abandoned. The history, the beauty .. I love it. I am so glad that they're restoring it as saving a piece of history. The people of Stanton are working so hard to bring it back to life. It's amazing the hard work they have put in, so we can keep it alive for generations to come.

This place is special because it's frozen in time, and it's so cute to see how they restored it according to the standards of the era...
