Barrels was established in June of 2009 with significant public input as a true “community” market, where goods and services will be accessible to all members of our community. The market was named after The Barrell Block, the historic building in which it is located, and the sense of abundance and rustic charm that we seek to create in the space. Waterville Main Street, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the revitalization of Downtown Waterville, serves as the parent organization.
