The Barrington Preservation Society We are grateful for your interest and hopeful of your support. Our mission is to preserve and protect all things historical about Barrington, RI: our history, our legacy, and to provide many reasons why we should all be proud of our hometown. The Barrington Preservation Society has an active plaqueing program to identify homes and neighborhoods of merit. Since 1965, the Society has awarded more than 150 plaques to homes that have retained their original architectural integrity and are at least 100 years old. The Society has also been instrumental in the listing of the Alfred Drown and Jennys Lane neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places. The Barrington Preservation Society Museum presents changing historic exhibits throughout the year. Admission is free. A permanent research library includes archives of town-related history, including records of government, organizations, families, as well as household, toys, business and farm implements. Tours are often organized for school children and other organizations. A variety of media items are available for sale at the Museum Gift Shop, including posters from house tours in 2005 and 2007 and books on Barrington's history, including the Society's recently published "Barrington by the Bay," a history of Barrington now used as part of the curriculum in Barrington's third grade classes. Those interested in learning more about the Barrington Preservation Society are encouraged to call the museum office at 401-289-0802.
