🎉 Wilton Candy Kitchen is Celebrating — and You’re Invited! 🎉
Join us as we mark a remarkable milestone — the anniversary of the Wilton Candy Kitchen, a cherished local treasure that began as a confectionery in 1860, founded by Wilton pioneer R.A. McIntyre.
To honor this long and sweet history, you’re invited to an evening of music, memories, and milestones — and a meal on us as a heartfelt thank-you for generations of support.
