From the Barre Common to Downtown Athol

Barre's two-acre common, laid out in 1792, is ringed by Greek Revival buildings and was named a National Register historic district in 1976 — the kind of intact New England town center that has kept the community's rural character intact. The town's industrial story played out a bit south of the common in South Barre, where the Barre Wool Combing Company ran on the Ware River from 1903 until it closed in 1974, drawing an immigrant workforce that shaped local life for decades. Outdoor space is close at hand too: Cook's Canyon Wildlife Sanctuary protects about 69 acres of forest and a cascading brook just outside the center. When Barre residents make the trip up Route 32, they trade that quiet common for a similarly walkable downtown in Athol, where Hometown Harvest sits right on Main Street.
