  Welcome!

The Belchertown Historical Association was founded during March 1903, “for the preservation and exhibition of articles of historic interest on account of age or association with the past history of the town.”  The Stone House became the BHA's showcase in 1922.  We invite you to tour this website, and take a virtual tour as well, to learn about the great things we are doing.  Revisit regularly for news updates and please join with us as we continue to pursue the Association's original mission in collecting and preserving the history of Belchertown.

Belchertown:
Bits of History


The fifty stories in this charming collection mark the events, places and people that have made Belchertown special. Drawn from the writings of beloved local fixtures Doris and Harvey Dickinson, these tales show how Belchertown holds firm to its New England Yankee traditions in the heart of the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusett

“Class Reunion”  

Nothing could be more fun than to get together with all your old high school friends, heartthrobs and rivals after so many years, even if some of the characters seem to remember you a lot better than you remember them. Mixing and mingling, reminiscing about old times, maybe glimpsing a rekindled flicker of an old flame, it just doesn’t get any better than that……unless of course, there’s a murder (Gasp!) and the whole class has to figure out who did the crime! Undoubtedly the most fun since you graduated high school. Our fourth annual Dinner Theater fundraiser was held on February 7, 2009—it was filled with fun and surprises!   MORE PICTURES
