I finally made it out to the Barrington Historical Society and Museum. It was worth the visit. There are four buildings including the reproduction of a one-room schoolhouse. The standard pioneer vintage items are there but there is much much more to see. Without giving too much away, I will say that they have a pioneer home, a school house, and two more buildings of very interesting history. The tour guide gave us a one hour tour and talked to us afterwards. It was well worth the visit. I will only post a few pictures so as not to spoil the surprises you may encounter on the visit. I would also like to say thank you to the historical society for the work they are doing with the schools. Good job.
