The Historic Northampton Museum & Education Center is comprised of three historic buildings which house more than 50,000 artifacts as part of its mission to preserve and interpret Connecticut Valley history. Highlights include the Shepherd Barn, with its antique farm equipment and working blacksmith shop, and the 18th-century Shepherd House, containing a quirky collection of exotic souvenirs culled from the travels of its previous owners. The center resides a mile east of Smith College in downtown, across from the post office.
