Connecticut River Byway
Hadley Farm Museum, MA

The Hadley Farm Museum is located in a restored 1782 barn in Hadley Center. Dedicated to preserving and exhibiting elements of the region’s Colonial farm life, the museum features the first broom-making machine, spinning wheels, a cobbler’s bench, a restored stage coach, and other historical artifacts of times gone by. The interior of the barn is a fine example of early American barn architecture with huge hand-hewn beams, wooden pegs, and rough-sawed boards and planks.
