Bartlett Historical Society and Museum

The Bartlett Historical Society (BHS) and Museum is uniquely located in the heart of the town of Bartlett in the White Mountains. The building, formerly the St. Joseph Church, built in 1890 and closed in 1999, has been fully renovated and adapted into a museum owned and operated by the Historical Society. The museum displays the history of Bartlett (including Glen and Intervale), Hart’s Location, and Livermore. Along with the exhibits of local history, many of the original components of the church have been either restored or recreated to add to the charm of the museum. Museum displays are updated every six months or so.

The BHS Museum building is listed on the NH State Register of Historic Places. It was also recognized by the NH Preservation Alliance as one of their 2017 Seven to Save buildings and, again, as the NH Preservation Alliance awarded the Historical Society one of their 2025 Preservation Achievement Awards.

The BHS Museum is open Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. BHS volunteers are always on hand to welcome visitors and answer questions. There is no admission charge for the museum, but the Historical Society gratefully accepts donations at the door. All donations are directed to the operational needs of the museum.
