About Us
HOW WE GOT STARTED
In 2008 a few neighbors formed a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to buy and renovate the Old Methodist Church building
in Berlin’s town center and make it available to the greater community for daily use.
VISION
Our vision was to create a space for people from all walks of life to connect with each other in this hectic time of new technology and social media; a place where generations can comfortably interact; a place where artists and musicians can showcase their talent; a place where people can share information - all within a thriving community space.
GRAND OPENING
Following three years of consulting with builders and donors plus almost seven years of renovation work, 19 Carter opened its doors to the public in October of 2017.

How to create a "19 Carter" in your community
We have been approached by many who wish to replicate what we have created at 19 Carter in their own communities. We have happily given many tours and are pleased to share our story.
