Founded by Ruth and Skitch Henderson over five decades ago, The Silo Cooking School has stood as a roaring testament to the artistry, ingenuity, and sheer joy of cooking. This is the spot where culinary sparks turned into wildfires, where the seeds of what would become the Food Network were first sown in the 1970s—before cable took over our screens. It’s where titans of the culinary world like Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, and Martha Stewart—not just names, but legends—stepped into our kitchen, not only to teach but to capture the magic of food on film.
Today, The Silo Cooking School isn’t just a place to learn—it’s a destination for anyone hungry to connect with food, culture, and community. Whether you’re signing up for one of our public cooking classes to master a new dish, bringing your team for a corporate team-building session that fires up creativity, or planning a private group class tailored to your wildest culinary dreams, our kitchen doors are wide open. We’re also serving up unforgettable cooking summer camps for the next generation of foodies and offering bespoke catering services to make your events unforgettable.
We are open 7 days a week from 9am to 7pm

Books & Art on Main, a new bookstore located at 692 Main Street, Plymouth, CT, is pleased to announce its opening in this new year!
The store offers used and new books (fiction, nonfiction, art, crafts, gardening, cooking, home, history, religion, Bibles, children’s books), plus journals, framed art, art supplies, and giftware.
“A new year is the perfect time to discover a new passion or hobby,” says proprietor Robert Schwalb. “Some people aspire to a reading challenge, such as reading 100 books during the year. A 2016 Yale study, recently cited in the news source Axios.com, suggests that developing a reading habit may actually help lengthen life, especially for those over 50.”
“Journaling, too, can benefit folks in so many ways, from boosting your mood on gray winter days to furthering self-discovery. We have a variety of journals in the store.” (https://www.healthline.com/health/benefits-of-journaling#takeaway).
“Trying your hand at an art project can also help reduce stress and aid in self-expression. We have colored pencils, sketchbooks, paints, paper, brushes, most anything you might need to get creative,” says Schwalb. https://www.webmd.com/balance/health-benefits-of-hobbies
“And a new year is a fantastic time to start a new venture, such as a bookstore,” says Schwalb. “Books & Art on Main is located in a historic Colonial Revival building that once housed the Plymouth Library. We’re thrilled to be able to operate in this beautiful building, which was constructed in 1932, amazingly during the height of the Great Depression.
“The building is truly a gem, with a gorgeous Palladian window, intricately crafted woodwork, and a magnificent fireplace. The architect and contractor even carved their names on the fireplace overmantel.
“Thanks to folks from the Plymouth Historical Society and local history buffs, we keep learning more and more about the library’s history. For example, we learned that the original library—housed in a different building that was destroyed by fire—was founded in 1871 by Congregational clergyman Reverend Elias Brewster Hillard (1825–1895), apparently known, back in the day, as a ‘man of fire’ for his efforts to improve life in Plymouth and Litchfield County. Reverend Hillard was also the grandfather of Pulitzer Prize-, Tony Award-, and National Book Award-winning poet, dramatist, and Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish, who died in 1982. Reverend Hillard himself compiled an important book, The Last Men of the Revolution, a photographic album of the last living survivors of the American Revolution, which was published in Hartford in 1864, during the Civil War,” says Schwalb.
“We opened unofficially during the holiday season and have been warmly welcomed by members of the community, who are happy that their former library building has a new lease on life, and that its legacy of providing a home for books in Plymouth is continued.”
Schwalb and his wife Sue have worked in book publishing and art and design for many years and previously operated a bookstore in Bantam, CT.
