The Historic Abbey is an event venue housed inside a meticulously restored Victorian church at 100 Rock Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1878, the building carries a storied past: it served as the parish church of Lizzie Borden, provided the backdrop for Aerosmith's music video "Crying," and later housed the International Culinary Institute of America. Restored in 2015 and reimagined as a dedicated event destination, the space preserves its original stained glass windows, exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and exquisite chandeliers. The venue welcomes a wide range of private occasions — weddings, bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and corporate events — all within a setting defined by its exceptional architectural character and rich New England history.

Every dish on the menu draws inspiration from her family's diverse heritage and traditions, resulting in a dish that is distinct in its taste and presentation. GET TO KNOW ELLIE HALL Ellie, named after the mother of the company's founder, Craig Hall, was a self-assured trailblazer for women's rights as well as a compassionate teacher and artist who always sought out the beauty in life while maintaining a resolutely independent spirit. The gathering of friends and family to enjoy a delicious meal and spirited conversation was one of her greatest pleasures in life, and it was a communal endeavor that brought her immense joy. When Ellie's was established, it was done so in the spirit of community and goodwill toward all. Thank you for joining the family.

In 2016, the Mystic Arts Center was renamed the Mystic Museum of Art, reflecting its expanded identity as a museum of American art. Set along the Mystic River, the museum houses four gallery spaces highlighted by the Charles H. Davis Gallery, a 1,920-square-foot room with 16-foot skylighted ceilings that fills the space with natural light. A stone terrace overlooking the river offers an outdoor setting ideal for cocktail receptions and can be tented for year-round use.
