Barkhamsted Historical Society
The Barkhamsted Historical Society is working to preserve and share the history and culture of the Connecticut town of Barkhamsted.
Our house museum and headquarters is Squire’s Tavern, located at 100 East River Road in Barkhamsted. This building was a 1795 farmhouse and tavern and in 1929 became part of Peoples State Forest. The Historical Society operates the building which is leased to the town of Barkhamsted by the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Squire’s Tavern is open Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and Wednesdays from 9:00 am to noon.
If you are visiting Peoples Forest during a time when Squire’s Tavern is not open, feel free to walk the grounds around the building to see the herb garden and our interpretive signs showing photos and historical background of our town, the Farmington River and the Squire’s Tavern site.
