Barn House is the site of a summer artists' colony in Chilmark, Massachusetts, on the island of Martha's Vineyard. The property includes one of the oldest houses in Chilmark, a barn dating from the 1780s, and facilities constructed primarily during the 1920s by the Chilmark Associates to facilitate its use as a summer retreat. The property represents aspects of the island's development from its agrarian origins to a summer vacation destination.
