The Chelmsford Historical Society, Inc.,
organized in 1930, is a non-profit
organization of people who care about Chelmsford's heritage and local history.
The society is an educational and cultural resource for the Town of Chelmsford and
the Merrimack Valley,
dedicated to the preservation of the historical heritage of our town for the good
of all of the people of Chelmsford.
Our mission is to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret documents and
artifacts reflecting the life of Chelmsford and its people from the 17th century to the present.
At the Barrett-Byam Homestead-home of the Chelmsford Historical
Society-visitors of all ages
learn about Chelmsford's rich history and culture by touring period rooms and exhibits,
delving into family or local history, and participating in educational programs and social activities.
Both the society and the museum are of particular
interest to anyone wanting to learn how more than 350 years of Chelmsford's history have
produced this fine town in which to live.
The Barrett-Byam Homestead is located 1¼
miles from Chelmsford Center on Route 27, Acton Rd. One mile from the center, look for the
Barrett-Byam Homestead sign on your right at Byam Road. Go right on Byam Road ¼ of a mile to the homestead on your left.
We are open by appointment and during special events. See our
Calendar for a list of scheduled events.
See our Use Policy
for information on fees, conditions for tours and photo masters.
