About

Around 1960, Old Avon Village became home to the Giant Rocking Chair. It was no longer needed at a furniture store in Elmwood, Connecticut, so Mrs. Jerry DiBica, then owner of 'The Spinning Jenny', brought it to its new home in Avon, and it has enticed passersby ever since. The 9-foot high Giant Rocking Chair has been an important landmark for Avon Village Marketplace.
