Celebrate February vacation and the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a Family History Walk at St. Andrews Farm on Thursday, February 19, at 10 am. We’ll have a hot cocoa station, play old-fashioned outdoor games and build snowmen (if there’s snow). While the kids play, adults can learn about the history of this special property.
All ages are welcome. The event is free and open to the public, regardless of where you live.
Each of our 2026 History Walks presents elements of Barrington’s history in connection with the location we are visiting. They are held in collaboration with Barrington 250.
Once a working farm, St. Andrews Farm is now one a popular spot for walkers. This conservation property was protected through a generous local philanthropist who purchased the property and donated it to the Town.
St. Andrews Farm is located at 101 Middle Highway, Barrington. There is plenty of parking. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. The event will last about an hour.
