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 Massachusetts.
