2026 marks the 14th biennial Tewksbury Barn Tour. The first tour took place in 1998. More than 60 Tewksbury barns have been showcased on past tours. Because Tewksbury is a picturesque township known for its equestrian charm, it is no surprise that most barns on the tour house horses. To reflect the agricultural side of Tewksbury, a farm site was added that provides our community with locally grown, farm fresh fruits and vegetables. The goal of the Barn Tour is to share some of the history of Tewksbury, but it is also meant for visitors to enjoy.
