The East Granby Historical Society proudly maintains the beautiful red barn (pictured here), just north of the town center in the East Granby Farms park. With a generous endowment, the society built the barn in 2006. Inside the barn, you can sit in a beautifully restored 1850s Concord stagecoach, see a Ford model A truck/tractor hybrid once used on a local farm, and try your hand at weaving on a working antique loom. Open hours are on the second and fourth Sundays of June through October, 2:00-4:00 p.m., and for special events.
Visit the barn at 85 North Main St., East Granby Farms Park, East Granby, CT 06026. Open hours are on the second and fourth Sundays, June through October, 2:00-4:00 p.m., and for special events. Admission is free.
