Shady Grove, the BHPS Cottage Museum, on Pleasant Street, welcomes visitors every Sunday from 2-4pm.
All Summer!
Throughout the summer of 2026, BHPS will host an exhibit on the many ways cottages in the village have moved. Many have been jacked up for purposes of renovation or repair. Others have been picked up and moved, sometimes a few feet and sometimes down the street, around the corner, and up a hill. Come see for yourself. The exhibit will be on display throughout the summer in the Meeting Room on the lower level of the Community Hall.
