Seniors.......Active & Vital

The Town of Farmington recognizes the value of its senior citizens and the importance of a Senior Center to the community. Seniors come together for programs and activities that reflect their interests, experiences, skills and enjoy new friendships that enrich their lives.

The Center strives to meet the diverse needs of seniors and families by providing information, services and support to encourage independence and uphold the dignity of older residents.

Membership

Membership is available to area seniors age 50 and over. Come in today and fill out a Senior Center Card. We look forward to your participation and ideas.
