Explore Historic Colrain
The Colrain Historical Society is now restoring its own buildings, categorizing and reimagining the display of its many artifacts, and planning programs to help us better understand and appreciate our past.
But the Society also knows that history always starts yesterday and it will be developing ways to preserve our “present past.” This website is where the past and the present will be meeting. Enjoy!
