The museum, set in the Berkshire hills, is an elegant Georgian saltbox originally built circa 1750 as a parsonage. Authentically restored, filled with antiques and surrounded by beautiful grounds and hiking trails, the museum is open Thursday through Monday between 11 am and 4 pm from May 27th to mid October.  

The full 2008 calendar of events will be available shortly - but in the meantime check Programs for the opening event and the date of the Summer Fundraiser. Also check out Articles for new additions on the history of shape-note singing that will be the feature of our opening event and the results of recent study of the involvement of Rev. Adonijah Bidwell in important events in 18th century history.

"A gem. The most perfect example of a New England country home in its feeling, appearance and continuing daily life"
