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.
Digital Archive
Discover Barre’s past through our online archive, made possible by Boston Public Library’s Statewide Digitization Project, featuring Barre High School yearbooks, local history books, town maps, and other historic documents.
Collect your BHS&M Memorabilia for Barre’s Bicenquinquagenary (250th) Anniversary.
