North Becket Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic village of North Becket in the Berkshire hill town of Becket, Massachusetts. The district encompasses 40 acres (16 ha) of a village that was constructed in response to the arrival of the railroad in the area. The district is predominantly rural in character, but there is a cluster of public buildings, including a church and the Becket Arts Center at its heart. Most buildings in the district were built in the 1840s in the Greek Revival style. Industrial buildings construct at that time and in later years were destroyed by a major flood in 1927, leaving only foundation remnants.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
