The Kate, as the Center is generally known, is an intimate, 250-seat theater in the Old Saybrook Town Hall building on the historic town green. The Kate presents a full calendar of concerts, dance, drama, opera, comedy, films (including some classic Hepburn films), and children's theater. (Some performances are broadcast on PBS TV in the national series, "The Kate.") In addition to the performances and presentations, a small museum displays memorabilia and reminiscences about Katharine Hepburn's life and career. She was a resident of Old Saybrook from 1912 (age five) until her death in 2003.

Originally built in 1888, this charming brick post-industrial space has been given new life in the 21st century as home to a community of artisans and entrepreneurs. Vintage clothing and items, handmade furniture, nautical and cycling gear, pastries, and creative arts can all be found in this lively and eclectic space. Craft beer fans should be sure to make a trip to Beer'd Brewing Company, right inside the Mill.
