Home of Herman Melville from 1850-1863. Dedicated to preserving the history of Berkshire County and the Arrowhead farm.
This summer the Berkshire County Historical Society will offer a series of walking tours that highlight various aspects of Pittsfield’s rich and diverse history. Tour themes touch on the people and places that helped shape our community including the city’s industrial past, its role in the Revolutionary War, the impact of immigrant communities during the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, art, architecture, and sports.
