== History ==
The town was chartered on July 17, 1761, by a New Hampshire Grant and named "Bernard" after the second-listed grantee of the town (with five others), Sir Francis Bernard, 1st Baronet, and since 1760 Governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The town's name was changed to Barnard some time before 1810.〔(About Barnard, Vermont ), Virtual Vermont website, accessed January 23, 2015.〕
In 1928, Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sinclair Lewis bought Connett Place with a total and adjacent Chase Farm. He named the property Twin Farms and used it as a vacation house during the 1930s and 1940s with his wife Dorothy Thompson.〔http://www.vpr.net/episode/33377/〕
In 1941, German playwright Carl Zuckmayer, a refugee from Nazi Germany whom Dorothy Thompson had helped to get into the US, rented Backwoods Farm, with its farmhouse from 1783 nowadays owned by Hannah Kahn〔http://www.thevermontstandard.com/2010/11/45-year-wait-ends-at-the-zuckmayer-farm/〕 and a total , from Joseph Ward (of Maynes & Ward hardware store on Main Street in Woodstock, Vermont) for 50 dollars a month. Zuckmayer worked this property as a farmer until 1946 and wrote the play ''Des Teufels General'' (The Devil's General) there. His autobiography ''A part of myself'' (1966) deals extensively with these years. Zuckmayer's wife Alice Herdan-Zuckmayer also wrote a memoir of their time in Barnard: ''The Farm in the Green Mountains'' (''Die Farm in den grünen Bergen'').〔http://www.vpr.net/news_detail/79860/〕
