Installed in the Spring of 2015, Revisit Barrington History is the permanent exhibition highlighting Barrington’s history as reflected in our core holdings of artifacts, maps, and documents, and in our core activities in stewardship of Barrington’s past. In the museum, visitors walk through the most important themes and periods of Barrington’s development as a community:

• Pokanoket Indian settlement
• the first European settlers – Baptist settlers at Nockum Hill
• the growth and change of Barrington since colonial times (map sequence)
• Barrington as an agricultural community, and early schools
• Barrington’s militia and military history
• immigration and industry in Barrington in the 19th and 20th centuries
• our summer community and coastal businesses
• our inventory of historic, plaqued houses

Portions of this exhibition are updated dynamically as new research and acquisitions allow us to improve our showcase of Barrington’s heritage.
