SUMMARY:Arrowhead open for tours
DESCRIPTION:Arrowhead will be open daily February 11 – 21 for two tours a day – 10:00 and 11:00.  The Berkshire County Historical Society is helping celebrate Pittsfield’s 10×10 Upstreet Arts Festival\, by sharing stories of how the Berkshires inspired Herman Melville.  Adults: $15; members of the Historical Society: free. \nExactly 165 years ago Melville was at Arrowhead\, writing Moby-Dick. As he wrote to a friend that winter\, My own breakfast over\, I go to my work-room & light my fire–then spread my M.S.S. on the table–take one business squint at it\, & fall to with a will.  At 2 1/2 p.m. I hear a preconcerted knock at my door\, which (by request) continues till I rise & go to the door\, which serves to wean me effectively from my writing\, however interested I may be. . . .
