About the Barton Center

The Barton Center is a nonprofit activity center for people age 55 and over. It is located on the ground floor of the Westerly Apartments at 14300 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, Ohio. The center was the first of its kind when it opened in 1964 and continues to be a model for many other centers.

Members come to Barton Center from all over the Greater Cleveland area to meet new friends, enjoy socials, luncheons, parties, special events, and take advantage of the classes, programs, or visit our gift and resale shops.
