FIRST SATURDAYS
at the Parson Barnard House & Barn
First Saturdays 2026
Parson Barnard House, 179 Osgood St. / 11am - 2pm on the first Saturday of each month from April to October.
Join us on the Fourth of July for a special Rev 250 Open House from 2pm-4pm
On the First Saturday of the warmer months from 11 am-2 pm, the North Andover Historical Society opens the doors to the Parson Barnard Historic House Museum and Barn, at 179 Osgood Street. Built in 1715, it retains much of the original construction. In the open rooms, furnishings show the changes in lifestyle as experienced by four early inhabitants of the house from 1715 through 1830.
New for 2026!
In 2024 and 2025, the following projects were completed thanks to the generosity of the residents of North Andover through the North Andover Community Preservation Commission:
Interior Walls, Windows and Trim Repainting
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Window Reglazing and Repair
Brick Hearth Masonry Repair
Electrical Updates
House Insulation
Removal of Oil Furnace and Replacement with Heat Pump
First Saturdays are a great opportunity to visit this iconic North Andover landmark and our town’s favorite historic house, free of charge; but please consider a donation or purchase in our 1646 Bookstore to help support our programs.
In 2026 we are planning to repair the Parson Barnard barn’s windows and doors! Stay tuned…
