Beyond the Armour Yard
Beyond Armour Yard is Holyoke’s newest community space, created in partnership with Beyond Walls. Just steps from the original Armour Yard, it hosts “Mondays at the Armour Yard” and is open for events all week long.
The Explore Holyoke community events calendar highlights the arts and cultural events throughout the city of Holyoke to help plan your visit. You are invited to submit your event. Events encouraged to be submitted are art openings, dance concerts, open mic events, cultural lectures. Events not allowed on the calendar are, political fundraisers, city meetings, daily specials from restaurants and events outside the city of Holyoke.

The Holyoke History Room’s Genealogy drop-ins are now the Genealogy Lab! The Lab takes place in the Library’s Third Floor Computer Classroom, where each person has access to a workstation and expert advice from a professional genealogist on sources, strategies, organizing, and family tree software.
Don’t need help this month? Feel free to come to research in good company and to share your progress.
The History Room across the hall will also be open for those whose research would be enriched by our maps, city directories, biographical files, church repertoires, and more.
