The GardenWise Symposium
The Spencer-Penn School served the small rural community of Spencer for seventy-seven years, not only as an educational institution, but also as the center of civic and social life. Today, in its new incarnation as the Spencer-Penn Centre, the renovated school stands as a testament to the remarkable volunteer spirit of the citizens of Spencer while serving once again as a vital community resource. Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, it houses a library and a computer lab, hosts classes ranging from art to yoga, and provides space for banquets, conferences, receptions and concerts.

Mission
The mission of the Spencer-Penn School Preservation Organization is to provide an educational and special events center for Spencer and surrounding communities by preserving the structure, facilities, artifacts, and history of the Spencer-Penn School. We envision a facility where programs inform people about a variety of subjects, allow them to experience a variety of performing arts, and provide entertainment and healthy activities for their families. This facility also provides a place where they can celebrate special events in their lives.
