From June 23 through approximately August 23, a portion of Holmes Road will be closed to vehicular traffic. You will not be able to get to Arrowhead if you enter Holmes Road from the north in Pittsfield.
But don’t worry, Arrowhead will still be accessible for tours and events. Take Holmes Road north at the intersection on Route 7 & 20 in Lenox (just south of the Pittsfield/Lenox line); Arrowhead is 1.5 miles from the intersection.
