Directions
Where to find us Historic Northampton is located at 46 Bridge Street (Rt. 9) in a large yellow 1813 building across from the Northampton post office, just two blocks from the downtown center. The main entrance is on the right-hand side toward the rear. By foot from downtown Walk east on Main Street (Route 9), away from Smith College and toward the railroad/bike path overpass. After the overpass, Main Street becomes Bridge Street. We are on one block beyond the overpass, on the left, across from the Northampton post office. From the bike path Historic Northampton is one short block from where the bike path crosses over Main Street. On the northwest side of the overpass, a ramp descends from the path, coming out in the parking lot behind Fitzwilly's and the Toasted Owl. On the southeast side of the overpass, a stairway descends to Bridge Street. Once you reach the street, walk away from the downtown and under the operating railroad overpass. We are one block beyond the overpass, on the left, across from the Northampton post office. By bus and rail. Historic Northampton is within reasonable walking distance from both bus and train terminals.

By car from the north Take I-91 south to Exit 20, which puts you onto Route 5, South (King Street). Follow King Street for about 1.5 miles to the lights at the center of town. At that intersection, turn left onto Main Street. Continue under the railroad overpass and through the lights at Market Street. The museum is on the left, across from the Northampton Post Office. By car from Amherst Follow Route 9 west from Amherst through Hadley and across the Connecticut River Bridge. Upon entering Northampton, Route 9 becomes Bridge Street. Historic Northampton is on the right hand side, about 2 miles after you cross the river. We are directly across from the post office before you reach the railroad overpass.
