"And everywhere,
around, above, below, when the Preceptor bore his bride away,
their songs burst forth in joyous overflow, and a new heaven bent
over a new earth
amid the sunny farms of Killingworth"
The
Birds of Killingworth

Welcome to the Chamber
The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce shall be to create a more favorable atmosphere for local business in harmony with the quality and character of the community.The Board of Directors meets the second Wednesday of each month at 8:00 a.m. The next meeting will be held July 8th at TD BankNorth. All members are welcome to attend. Business owners interested in joining the Chamber are also invited to attend.
Please join us for our June business-after-hours event at the Killingworth Equestrian Center on June 30th, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.
The Killingworth Equestrian Center location, which is beautifully landscaped with the horse facilities recessed from the road, includes a barn with 18 stalls, a large indoor riding arena, individual paddocks and outdoor riding ring, a hunt course and two homes. More than two years ago, Brian Fitzsimmons (a clinical psychologist and hospital administrator) and his wife Barbara (a clinical social worker) purchased their farm on North Roast Meat Hill Road. Along with trainer Johnna Chenail, the trio have quickly filled the stalls and developed a popular program for riders of all ages.

"I have been an active rider for about 15 years after seeing the benefits of riding for my children, says Fitzsimmons. “I've always enjoyed being around the horses and wanted to bring the benefits of riding to others."
