Directions/Parking

Herman Melville’s Arrowhead is the headquarters of the Berkshire County Historical Society and is located at 780 Holmes Road in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

From the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), take Exit 10 in Lee (old exit 2). Follow Route 20 West for 8.5 miles; it will merge with Route 7 North. Turn right onto Holmes Road at the traffic light. Arrowhead is 1.5 miles ahead on the left.

From points north: Route 20, Route 9, and Route 7 all lead to Pittsfield and intersect with major interstates. Consult your own maps for reaching Route 7 from where you are. Once you are on Route 7 South, follow Route 7 South until you cross the Pittsfield-Lenox town line. Turn left onto Holmes Road at the traffic light. Arrowhead is 1.5 miles ahead on the left.

NOTE:  If you use GPS to find Arrowhead, please be aware that you may be directed to Lori Court, the development bordering Arrowhead to the south.  Just drive back out Lori Court to Holmes, take a left, then an immediate left into either driveway. There is a driveway on either side of the house: they both lead to the same parking area.

The parking area is behind the large red barn.
