Barre Historical Society
Our three buildings are located in the heart of rural central Massachusetts. Our main building, a 1836 Greek Revival overlooks Barre's picturesque common. Our Coach House is aptly named for the fully conserved 1859 Concord Coach that is part of our collection. Our third building, The Heritage Center (formally The Tatman House) is our newest brick and mortar addition-- here we hope to expand out exhibits and offer room for research, meetings and community programming.
