The Barre Historical Society and Museum is dedicated to preserving and celebrating our rich heritage, fostering an appreciation for history, and providing a vibrant educational platform that connects our community with the past.

Our Mission

Building and Grounds

The Main Building, The Heritage Center, and the Coach House Museum house our vast collections of items relating to Barre’s long historic tradition. The buildings themselves are significant historic structures with interesting facts.

Programs and Events

The BHS&M engages its members and the wider community to connect with the past through a diverse array of events and programs. Engaging walking tours, informative speakers, and annual events are all designed to celebrate and explore our history.

Collect your BHS&M Memorabilia for Barre’s Bicenquinquagenary (250th) Anniversary.
