Welcome to Barrington 

Whether you’re a Barrington resident or a visitor to our beautiful area, we welcome you to enjoy the many cultural, entertainment, recreation, shopping and dining offerings that are so unique to our wonderful community.

Barrington lies at the crossroads between city and country – just 40 miles northwest of Chicago, and yet for over 150 years we have maintained a distinctly small-town, country heritage that will certainly charm you when you spend the day (or even a weekend!) experiencing the many things that Barrington has to offer.

Barrington boasts of numerous world-class cultural programs at our Barrington’s White House; a large historic district dotted with a myriad of architectural styles and featuring three structures on the National Register; vast outdoor recreational activities in our sweeping open space expanses; and dozens of opportunities for unique shopping, dining and gathering in the heart of the Village.

We invite you to explore all that Barrington has to offer, and Enjoy Barrington all year round!
