For over 170 years the Barre Gazette never missed an issue. Wars, fire, holidays, floods, hurricanes and other storms did not stop the paper from coming out on a weekly basis. The first issue on Nov. 1, 1834 was a four page sheet with a heading “Farmers Gazette.” A hand carved woden cut by Albert Alden showed the “remarkable water fall” at Cook’s Canyon. That paper’s farm background is seen in the

logo that shows a sheath of grain, a plow, hay fork, hay rack, sickle and other farm implements. The paper serves eight towns - Barre, Hardwick, Hubbardston, New Braintree, North Brookfield, Oakham, Petersham and Rutland.
