Barnet's Historic Goodwillie House Museum will be open for tours on Tuesday, the 4th of July from
10 until 3.
The Goodwillie House is located on Barnet Center Road, a quarter mile north of West Barnet/Peacham Road. There is no admission charge.
The house was built in 1791 – just a short while after the Revolutionary War - by the area's first minister, David Goodwillie. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and now serves as a showcase of domestic artifacts from the area's history. Linens, furniture, kitchen wares and farm tools are displayed throughout the many rooms of the house. In addition, the Goodwillie house has a hidden room in the basement which possibly was built to serve as a hiding place for run-away slaves as a stop on the Underground Railroad
If you have never visited the Goodwillie House, you and your family are in for a treat. If you have, you'll want to come often to see the many improvements and changes to Barnet's treasured house.
Come see Barnet's "time machine in a house" on the 4th of July between 10 and 3.
