Open spring through fall, this authentic 1760s home in the Berkshires was the original residence of the Reverend Adonijah Bidwell, first minister of the former Township #1. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, you can enjoy 18th and 19th century furnishings, 192 acres of fields and forest, a heritage vegetable garden, native flower gardens, stone walls, an early farm and garden tools exhibit, six miles of hiking trails, and picnic sites. In season, you can take a guided tour of the house by appointment. The gardens and grounds are open year-round from dawn until dusk, free of charge.Open spring through fall, this authentic 1760s home in the Berkshires was the original residence of the Reverend Adonijah Bidwell, first minister of the former Township #1.
