About the Town
Harbert
Harbert doesn’t have a traditional main street, but it punches far above its weight in culture and culinary history. Originally settled by Swedish immigrants, the town still honors those roots today, alongside a growing reputation as a hub for mid-century modern design and fine art.
It is a town of hidden gems. You don’t drive through Harbert to see the sights; you stop here for a specific reason whether it’s a legendary Swedish pastry, a curated piece of vintage furniture, or a quiet walk through a gallery.
