In the early morning hours of Sunday, December 9, 2012, a yet unidentified hit and run driver smashed into the Addison Visitors Center and Gallery on the Main Street side of the building.
In the process of shattering the Gallery's large window and foundation, the driver also destroyed an antique fire hydrant, decorative light pole, outdoor waste basket, and several items which were on sale inside the Gallery. Initial damage estimates exceed $10,000.00. The town of Webster Springs, which owns the building and Gallery, has already constructed a temporary wall to enclose the Gallery.
