Barrington Museum Complex
This cluster of four museums, all within a stroll of each other, gives a concentrated taste of life in another age. The best two are the Seal Island Light Museum and Barrington Woolen Mill Museum. The first offers the chance to enter a lighthouse and examine one of the large lenses once used to guide sailors to safety; the second is a creaky old riverside mill that takes visitors back to the days of water-powered wool processing (used for sturdy clothing for fishermen). The complex also includes the Old Meeting House and the Western Counties Military Museum.
