Red Square Homestead has stood proudly since 1802, a cherished landmark nestled within Avalon's pastoral lands. This once-remote farmhouse grew into a vital community hub, preserving stories of labor, craftsmanship, and tradition.
Visitors are greeted by a peaceful park with a walking path that winds around a gentle pond. The area is perfect for afternoon strolls, birdwatching, and reflection. Wildlife sightings are common—ducks, herons, frogs, and more call this place home.

At the center of the homestead stands a charming wooden gazebo, often used for gatherings, picnics, weddings, and musical performances. It overlooks the pond and serves as a photogenic heart of the square, especially vibrant in the spring and fall seasons.
The soul of Red Square is its Red Chair Factory, where Avalonian red oak chairs have been hand-built for generations. The factory remains operational to this day, producing elegant, minimalist seating that symbolizes the strength and beauty of the region.
Locals often say, "No home is complete without a Red Square chair."
Just behind the chair factory stands the iconic Red Barn. With its tall silhouette and crimson-painted planks, it remains a favorite among painters and photographers. It once stored grain and livestock, and now hosts seasonal exhibitions and folk festivals.
The on-site Museum of Red Square contains rotating exhibits on rural Avalonian life, the history of chairmaking, fishing tools, and nature studies. Guided tours are available weekly. Children especially enjoy the interactive dioramas of wildlife found near the pond.
