About Us
Historic Northampton is a museum dedicated to the history of Northampton, Massachusetts. Each year, we offer programs and events, including public talks, Explore Northampton walking tours, and theatrical plays based on local history.
The museum is one of the primary caretakers of artifacts relating to the history of Northampton. We preserve historical objects and documents with strong connections to Northampton’s history that reveal histories of past residents. Research and explorations into the past are based upon these authentic, primary sources. Historic Northampton is dedicated to preserving and interpreting all aspects of Northampton’s rich and complicated history. Founded in 1905, Historic Northampton is a non-profit 501c3 organization independent of city government. |
Members of the community gathered to pull the 1805 barn on a specially-made track in order to add a foundation to stabilize the structure.
